The following quotes taken from here.
In Dawkins' view, there is a battle taking place in Britain between the forces of reason, and religious fundamentalism and it is far from won.
The God Delusion's stated aim was to "convert" readers to atheism - but he admits that as a proselytising tool it has broadly failed.
In fact, Dawkins has been described as "the biggest recruiter for creationism in this country". Critics accuse him of an imaginative failure when it comes to human nature's susceptibility to the comfort of irrational thought.

I recently blogged about Dawkins and the hand he had in the advertisements to be put on London's red buses come January 2009. These ads basically say there is no
God.
kris,
I liked the line in your blog where you asked the question: "Do you believe everything you read?" That's fitting for this advert!
It's also interesting that while those who placed the advert boast of raising $113,000 or seven times their target, this is measley compared to the money Christians give away each day. Seems those who believe this world is all they have not only are slow to part with their money but also acknowledge that in the low estimate they set to begin with.
BTW: THANKS for following CS!
