Smart guy. Patient, polite, and more willing to listen than people accuse him of. But on the offensive, he's kind of a jerk. I enjoy a lot of his arguments, I think he's a swell dude, but whenever he discusses religion publicly, and not during a debate, he's very contemptuous. And seeing that most assign him the title of "Main representative of atheism" theists across the globe associate any atheist with the behavior and attitude of Dawkins. Ergo, people make atheists off to be jerks because of him.
