Yes, there are "militant atheists" out there that vehemently espouse the simplistic idea that they know God doesn't exist. Dawkins is not one of those people. Nor is Harris.

Dawkins' entire argument is actually pretty sophisticated, through his explanations of neurological processes and the brain's image-simulation software, through to Darwinian kinship/superiority relationships, through to memetic theory and evolved processes of thought and language.
Dawkins is a guy I highly admire.
