How very bizarre. Dawkins has spent most of his adult life regaling against Christianity but now makes the rather awkward shift towards being a 'cultural Christian'. If Christianity didn't exist there would be no 'cultural' context. For a person who worships at the altar of rationality that bit of reasoning seems to have escaped him.

Can you have faith in the core tenants of the message of Jesus Christ, like do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and other parts without the dogma of fundamentalist views which do not correlate very well with the scientific world. I don’t believe in the firmament, leviathans, walking on water, raising the dead, water into wine, parting a sea, talking snakes, talking donkeys, global floods, Semitic storm deities, or even the historical figure of Jesus. I don’t believe fundamentalism captures the core of Christianity. Zizek states the big other died on the cross as well as the figure of Jesus but the meta-narrative live on through the character of Christ (emphasis on Character).

He also emphasised that his answer was not critical towards the believers, but to the content of the holy books. People expect Richard to go "full Dawkins" at the drop of a hat and seem surprised when he holds back.
