Why is Richard Dawkins so aggressively atheistic?

Dawkins simply states facts the way he and many others see them. Adjectives like aggressive are an interpretation of the state of mind of the listener not the speaker. Dawkins' training is in science where all things are put to rigorous tests. Proposals which do not meet these tests are discarded. Religious proposals - gods, the effectiveness of prayers, miracles do not pass these tests and are rightfully dismissed. If there is any "tone" to Dawkins it is frustration that proofs are not accepted much like Sagan talking to his neighbor about the dragon in the neighbor's garage (see Link)AnswerTo add to the above answer, Richard Dawkins and other scientists, philosophers, and intellectuals who are counted among the New atheists, find mainstream science too accommodating to religion for financial reasons. Also they see that religion has done and is doing much more harm in the world than good. To quote Victor J. Stenger; "Science flies men to the moon, religion flies men into buildings".
