I would love to hear eliezer telling RD about the rationality movement and the two of them discussing what to do about the problem of finding meaning and human fulfilment in a way which is compatible with a rationalist outlook on life.
Dawkins is a secular humanist, not a materialist. to wit:
“Let me sum up Einsteinian religion in one more quotation from Einstein himself: “To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something that our mind cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and as a feeble reflection, this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious.” -The God Delusion Ch 1
his beliefs are sprinkled throughout the book, but it is fair to say that he espouses some form of dualism plus unitarian christian morality.
Um, Dawkins doesn’t subscribe to what he calls “Einsteinian religion”, and he is a materialist. I’m not sure why you seem to think that secular humanism and materialism are incompatible.
Richard Dawkins.

Have you read the God Delusion? Richard Dawkins is a christian without the god meme.
I have read The God Delusion but I don’t really understand what you’re saying. Can you explain?

The tone is mystical, but I doubt Dawkins is really a dualist.
He isn’t, and if memory serves me right, he has made that quite clear many times.
