Although I think Taraz means that Dawkins and co hate religion and are on a crusade to "unconvert" people

I think they would claim 'educate"

I would agree to some extent, but you can't educate people if you call them names at the outset. If you label someone dumb they will learn poorly. I also think it's a mistake to advocate the abandonment of religion as a whole. Why can't we educate without even making mention of God? All it does is put people in a defensive stance. If someone truly understand evolution for example, it becomes painfully obvious that God is unnecessary for the process (except possibly for a first cause).
