But Atheists don't and shouldn't feel responsible for what he says. Just as I wouldn't feel responsible for something someone who belongs to another faith says. If someone identified himself as a Dawkins Atheist and went around talking about how much he or she revered Dawkins, that person would be legitimately identified with Dawkins.

Otherwise it's kind of like saying well I'm a white guy and Dick Cheney is a white guy so naturally I should have to respond to the things that Cheney says.
