There is no comparison between Dawkins, who believes that religious

on "Things above Reason," even though he believed that Christianity
was capable of rational defense. ~ ted

@ Campolo ididn't say that God is above or beyond reason alone, he
specifically said that "..God is beyond the rational categories of
thought. .." ~ Tony Campolo http://www.ewtn.com/library/ISSUES/RELEFTCO.TXT

That is Dawkins position.
