I didn't answer this question on my blog - but I will attempt an answer here.
I noticed that he undercut his own argument. Based on his answer, Dawkins said that one's belief is a product of one's geography or point of origin. However, how does he explain the diversity of belief in his fellow countrymen? Or, how does he explain the diversity of belief in America? By Dawkins' reasoning all American's ought to be Christians and the UK ought to be either Anglican, Protestant, or Catholic...so how is it that Dawkins is an atheist?
So my answer? C.S. Lewis said something along the lines of "if Christianity is false, then it is of no importance; if Christianity is true, then it is of utmost importance; but what it cannot be is mildly important." Therefore, if I am wrong, I am no worse off for it, but if you are wrong, Dr. Dawkins, then you have lost everything.
