In response to A R Devine: Why is it racist to prefer your own culture?, David wrote:
I suspect that Dawkins, like many of his ilk who have gained fame and fortune by attacking the faith of their own culture, has of late, finally, realised that the sharp reduction in Christian observance can only aid the growth of alien faiths, intolerant to his views. So we see a sort of wistful looking back to where he came from, culturally. Therefore he has, I believe, described himself as ‘a Christian atheist’.
