Here's an interesting article, with video... I haven't had a chance to view the video yet, but the article was fascinating. I think it gives a much more upbeat view of Dawkins, and a better image of some who believe...
Professor Richard Dawkins interviews Father George Coyne about his faith (http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/263343)
Professor Richard Dawkins interviewed Father George Coyne for his program "The Genius of Charles Darwin." Although the interview did not make the program, it was a remarkable interview, and it can now be seen on the Internet.
Thanks for posting the interview. It was highly fascinating. The way Father George Coyne points out the mistakes of creationists and fundamentalist Christians is absolutely brilliant.

Absolutely. He's a thinking man's believer to be sure. Many times he's pointing out that it's not the conclusion that is incorrect, but the question that is inappropriate.

It strikes me that if the Priests and Penguins who had taught me at school had been like him I might well still be a Catholic.

I loved it when Father George Coyne said "If I would have be looking for a God of Explanations then I would have become an atheist myself". On this forum we are constantly attacked by Christians want explanations from us about evolution etc. So here is a priest, who clearly says that it you are looking for explanations you will not find it in religion but in science. Respect!
I agree that was an awesome part!
I loved the whole interview. It was great.
