I think we both know that his attacks on religion are born out of its own corruption of science. He is defending science. You misrepresent that fact.

I will not make any claims as to know why Mr Dawkins attacks religion, but he most certainly cannot claim calm objectiveity in the matter. I do not think I am misrepresenting anything.

All I was saying is that science is science. And both religion and atheism are seperate from it. But if one has a certain strong axe to grind, it is likely that will influence their approach to something.

That is true for both religious people who make erroneous "scientific" claims, as well as atheists who do likewise. We all should be aware of that fact.

Scientists are no more infallible than the Pope.
