I’ve read criticisms by philosophers that Dawkins’ (single) chapter in TGD on the “classic arguments” doesn’t pass muster. But rather frustratingly, these deficiencies are never spelled out. For instance, I’d be very interested to know how Dawkins’ dismissal of the Ontological Argument differs from the mainstream, scholarly consensus. Granted, he summarized in a few paragraphs what others have devoted entire volumes to. But, essentially, what did he mischaracterize?
