I find him to be more of a sort of 'scientific theist'. He's so actively belligerent towards religious people, the way he spreads the gospel of science is very similar to some of the (to me) less palatable proselytising parts of Abrahamic religions.

Somebody described his brand of atheism as essentially an Anglican heresy, since he shares most of the same moral and sociocultural views, as well as the same burning desire to bring people “out of the dark and into the light”. He just happens to disagree on the theology.
Haha yes the irony is palpable. Maybe 'scientific theist' is pretty unfair actually, plenty of theists that I meet don't force their beliefs on other people, it should be 'scientific missionary' or something.
