The only problem is that Dawkins takes an even smaller-minded view of the world than most ultra-orthodox people. He selectively quotes various religions without actually looking at how they're practiced - the scriptures are only a small part of any religion.
As for my own views, I'd describe myself as a very accepting agnostic. I grew up in an orthodox Jewish family and went to an ultra-orthodox school but I ultimately found that I don't believe in god anymore. That said, my background has given me respect for people who do believe in god so that I see military atheists (see: Dawkins) as being just as bad as missionarising theists.

I agree except that I find Military atheists to be worse. At least the religious masses that proselitize think they are doing it to save your eternal soul. The atheists just want to prove that they are the smartest in the room.
