It's silly to try to pick this guy's stuff apart, he's so wrong he's in another universe, but --

his attitude towards fairy tales has been thoroughly debunked by C.S. Lewis (An Experiment in Criticism), J.R.R. Tolkien ("On Fairy-Stories"), and Bruno Bettelheim (The Uses of Enchantment).

Obviously Dawkins has never read a thing in the field, or probably anything outside his own very narrow area of expertise. Proving once again the adage that an expert is a man who knows more and more about less and less, until eventually he knows everything about nothing.
