Apparently he believed himself to be one of a renewed version of the Knights Templar, a shadowy organisation that for some reason has more ranks than it has members.
Here's a quote on Atheists:
Sure, many deny God now. But when they're looking death in the face, when they're sick or in an accident or staring down the barrel of a gun, they'll change their mind. They'll beg for God then. There are no atheists in foxholes.
linton Richard Dawkins 1941-
Twice divorced, Richard spends his days popularizing the idea that everything, absolutely everything (including his marriage failures) can be explained through purely materialistic means. Raised in the Church of England, he decided that the theory of evolution better explained the universe than his religious understanding. So, in 1976, Mr. Dawkins wrote a book called, The Selfish Gene, to show that we are only selfish creatures at best, and the only reason why we survive so well is because we are actually good at being selfish. Our selfishness is part of our genetic make-up, and it drives almost everything we do.
Richard has since written many more books promoting his interpretation of the mechanics of life, but he has a very clear agenda - to blame God and even the concept of God for all of man's ills. He seeks to prove that mankind would be so much better off without any moral anchor, and without any moral judge except ourselves.

The guy was clearly irrational, where I have a deep respect for rationality, and clearly religious where I have a deep disdain for religion.
So how does this individual bear any relationship to me? Well he doesn't, apart from in the tiny mind of our resident bigot Tunney.
