You really don't get analogies, do you?

Dawkins' purpose of that book was to get people to lose their belief. He put a lot of effort in to that and being the intelligent man he is, he succeeded in imposing it on a lot of people.

Ask him to do that and, assuming he does and is prepared to provide certifiable facts to verify what you have said then I, personally, would expect that I wouldn't require much if anything more than that . That said, others on CF might have higher thresholds when it comes to proof than I.
On the matter of the Dawkins book it is worth pointing out that he is an individual. Extremely poweful churches and religions have engaged dozens, if not hundreds, of people to write and tweak a certain book to influence people. So it's not as if Dawkins was the first to do so, is it?
