From what I've seen his tone, however, is not taken from Dawkins, and that makes all the difference. Going up to someone and saying "I believe this, you may find it useful or interesting" will get people a lot less annoyed than saying "you are stupid or deluded, let me tell you The Truth and then you will Believe" (which seems to be the technique used by Dawkins and religious missionaries and salesmen).
