I like his more gentle approach to non-belief; the inclusiveness of it and what he said about an adult who just wanted to listen to the students and not mark them, grade them, lecture them etc. Reading about the alleged sexism in the conference rounds of the so-called New Atheists was distressing to say the least. However, I attended a talk in Conway Hall, London on aspects of atheism a couple of years ago and although one of the two speakers was a woman who was very well received, I couldn't help but notice that about 2/3 of the audience was male. Maybe this is just the corollary of the impression that I get that noticeably more women attend church than men.
