Even better than that, in McGrath's book he cites an atheist academic
colleague who had the following to say about Dawkins's documentary "The Root
of All Evil?". The colleague said: "Don't judge the rest of us by this
pseudo-intellectual claptrap".

Even more damning is H. Allen Orr's review in the New York review of books,
where he accuses Dawkins of being poor at philosophical reasoning because he
has a pre-determined set of conclusions that he's determined to arrive at!
( Rings a bell? Just like YEC's I think).

Interesting that (thinking) atheists are embarrassed by Dawkins, while Pim
is such a staunch defender.
