any person who forcefully pushes their ideas on society in general and claims the truth is dangerous. ie: Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot etc etc..
They may well have all been genius's but that certainly doesn't make them right. They obviously allowed their pride and arrogance to supersede their gift.
In North America, where we have (ahem) freedom of speech etc. It is in our best interest to closely watch such persons - and to shout loud and long remembering that it is not always for the good of society in general to fall into line with anyone claiming such genius.

he is definitely an atheism-pusher as for a genius probably, but I have not seen is IQ score.
Personally I think he should have stayed in Academia and out of the Religion/Atheism debate.

He's angry that religion has been used as an excuse to kill people. He thinks it is primitive and a comfort-blanket.
I agree a little, but I think he should be careful about the way he words things, he can hurt people a lot.
Genius, but a bit insensitive.
His science books are well worth the read though, they make science beautiful :)

Those two qualities seem positively correlated as opposed to mutually exclusive.

Irrespective of his religious opinions, I believe he's a genius having read his biology books.

Aren't we all "pushers" of some kind?

Speaking the truth is not "pushing" anything. Come up with some EVIDENCE to refute him.
PS Pointing at a book does not count.

How are these by definition mutually exclusive?
