IMO no one was throwing rocks at Dawkins until he set upon the theists. There is no great religious opposition to evolution in the UK, unlike America. A lot of his opposition has come from non-religious like the philosopher Mary Midgley.

Dawkins has been beating up theists ever since he could first string a sentence together.

My perception of him is that he is an exceptional thinker, but he allows his emotions to take over when he debates religion and therefore loses clarity and authority.
