Plus, there is the whole thing going on again like Dawkins’s opinion really has any effect on the status of atheism or agnosticism in general.

As we eventually expand outwards from our little backwater planet on the periphery of the Orion spiral arm, it is not inconceivable that we might encounter an entity which, although not a god, looks like a god, acts like a god, feels like a god, smells like a god, sounds like a god, tastes like a god - but doesn't have a long beard and spend all day sat on a cloud being praised by bands of angelic beings.

If you see what I mean.
Vorlons?

YOU GET A FUCK YEAH! :D

In that quote in question, he rated himself "a 6.9". Which, if you read the relevant section of The God Delusion, a 7 means "I know for a fact that no gods exist".

In other words, he is rather thoroughly convinced that no gods exist, and lives his life as if no gods exist, and only extremely compelling evidence would convince him otherwise. As a man of reason, he acknowledges that a god is possible, but unfathomably unlikely.
