Dawkins self identifies himself as an atheist and states in the opening chapter of "The God Delusion":

"God is a delusion. ... Human thoughts and emotions emerge from exceedingly complex interconnections of physical entities within the brain. An atheist in this sense of philosophical naturalist is somebody who believes there is nothing beyond the natural, physical world, no supernatural creative intelligence lurking behind the observable universe, no soul that outlasts the body and no miracles - except in the sense of natural phenomena that we don't yet understand."

Richard Dawkins does not hate God. He is an atheist and as such does not believe in him/her and therefore does not have any feelings towards God one way or the other. Dawkins book "The God Delusion" is not against God but against the concept of organised religion, particularly the concept of an 'Abrahamic personal God.'

Does Richard Dawkins believe in aliens?

I doubt if Richard Dawkins believes in aliens in the sense of intelligent beings from outer space who have visited our earth. I think he does believe that, somewhere out there in the billions of planets that exist in other solar systems, there must be other life forms, some of which will be at least as intelligent as we are.
