Perhaps not, although I should think that Dawkins is prominent enough that his comments carry some weight.
But your objections puzzle me. Do you seriously deny that evolution is often used (or I should say misused) to "prove" that God does not exist?
Do you seriously deny that guns are often used (or I should say misused) to kill the innocent?
What I state is that this is the "wedge" issue with the creos. It is part of their operation. In thousands of posts, I have seen almost none that seek to prove there is no God based on the 'belief' in evolution but I have seen hundreds of posts from creationists claiming evolutionists are atheists and many that propose evolution is a communist, liberal plot to destroy religion.
