all the venom against religious people

That's really quite an accusation. Citations, please.

I have only my subjective feeling, when I finished reading 'The God Delusion' of "that could have been a really interesting book, but his attitude ruined it." Whether that response was based more on the book itself or on my own attitude, I can't say. (But I loved Dawkins' other books, i.e. 'The Selfish Gene' and others related to biology...they are still among my favourites.)

You may wish to try rereading it and seeing if it's actually the book you remember.
