We got into a debate about proper advocates for atheism and skepticism a while back. You mentioned Dawkins and one other name.

I'm also commenting because I've forgotten that second name and kinda want to look him up now.

Is there really someone who, searching for a group of wise and sensitive persons to regulate him for his own good, would choose that group of people that constitute the membership of both houses of Congress? -Robert Nozick, Anarchy, State, and Utopia.

That was a very gracious admission, and I hope you continue read and expand your knowledge base.
