Bless ya right back Mr A it was a thing called irony.
I'll play along, if you genuinely were interested in proof of what I said - I'm pretty sure we both know you weren't - then there's a fairly well-known (amongst staunch atheists) website where "post-Christianity" people post similar experiences of their own.

It's hard for me look past any other potential reasons when he's stated numerous times what made him lose his beliefs. I have very little time for Dawkins, I won't leave a good word on him - I'll concede he's a very intelligent and influential man, nothing more - but my mate has little short of almost mortal hate for him.
Some might say while he had his beliefs he was living in a deluded world etc however he was happy, he wasn't hurting anyone and felt his like had hope and purpose.
With that taken away (especially given it was a number of rabid atheists who challenged him to give it a read) he became a broken man. On the few times I've seen the guy since, he's a shell of who he used to be.
