Again, your logic is flawed. First of all I do not defend Dawkins, I
point out that people seem to sometimes be unfamiliar with what
Dawkins really argues. Am I familiar with McGrath? Yes. Have I read
his books? I find this an irrelevant question, and the accusations of
'not wanting' again show a juvenile tendency not worthy on this group.

How have you established that I am not wanting to read what you
consider to be the most elaborate critique of Dawkins?
Before you make accusations, perhaps it would help to get your facts lined up?
