I do not say that they are right for becoming atheists, I am only
saying that they may have become atheists because of what they
saw in Christians. (See my comments to Walter Hicks in the previous
post for some examples).

Dawkins is clearly an ideologue and as such should be viewed
with suspicion not only by people who believe in God. As I said
above, I don't necessarily agree with the views of people who
reject Christianity. However, I have to admit that sometimes,
in the reasons for their rejection, they have a point.

I'm sorry, I probably should know who this person is, but as
usual, I am ignorant of far more things than I will ever
be able to imagine and cannot answer this.
By Grace alone we proceed,
