Fair point. The essential claims of every atheist can really be reduced to this: "I have no personal experience which verifies or makes the case for the existence of God." Of course their lack of personal experience in this regard has no bearing on the character of MY experience. Millions of people have meaningful experience with the divine--Dawkin's inability to find, access or explain that is utterly irrelevant to the realities of divinity and humanity.

Hard atheism is one of the most critically unsustainable position on the market. Agnosticism is easy to understand. But to embrace hard atheism you need believe it's possible to prove the negative that God doesn't exist. It's amazing (and somewhat amusing) that men as gifted as Dawkins don't see this. It makes it easy to dismiss him/them as mere provocateurs since there is no solidly founded argument for such a relentless rejection of God.
