I agree that Richard Dawkins probably doesn't think he can destroy religion. I did, however, once watch a conversation between Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitches, and I am paraphrasing here: both Harris and Dawkins were adamant that they would like a world entirely without religion, whereas Hitchens said he would prefer a world where religion kept to itself and didn't bother anybody. Point being that Richard Dawkins would by his own admission destroy religion if he could.
