Dawkins spends a lot of time discussing evil acts committed in the name of religion, but little time disentangling religious motivation from political or economic factors, or acknowledging the acts of charity or goodness directly inspired by religion.


I think the reason for spending little time "acknowledging the acts of charity or goodness directly inspired by religion" was that you don't need religion to inspire acts of charity or goodness: and people would do more good if they weren't wasting their time deciphering ancient texts and praying.
