1. There is no God and Dawkins is his Prophet

"First he wants to prove that God does not exist"

No, he doesn't. The clue is in the chapter title "Why there almost certainly is no god". Not that hard to understand.

"and that religion is intellectually second-rate" Again no, he shows that faith is intellectually vacuous. It is not that religion is the result of poor thinking, but of a complete lack of reasoning.

Perhaps he means that Dawkins is suggesting that religious people are second-rate intellectually. He (RD) isn't, but perhaps if they could show they understand Dawkins' book rather than misrepresent it (see my first point!), they would do a better job of showing their intellectual prowess...
