If this were true it wouild still make him a cock.His position, as a self appointed high priest of atheism, is just as valid as that of fundamentalist religious leaders.
That is 'not valid at all'.
People don't need to be told, ever, for any reason, that they are not allowed to believe what they want to, be that in no God, in God or in the flying spaghetti monster.
Sadly he does argue that there is no God in this book. He argues that there is no God because it doesn't fit in with his idea of what science is.
This is bigotry and cultural hatred and, to be honest, is identical to the behaviour of the zealous religious leaders.

I would have thought that there is clearly no defined objective reality.To claim that there is is the height of conceit.

No, I just do not accept that any theory is fact.I always doubt.

but that's a different questionI also don't believe that any theory is fact.
But I believe in the existence of an objective reality and that this reality has structure. Some parts of it are self evident and cannot be proved and disporved (e.g. 1+1=2) whereas for some other we need more elaborate techniques. Science (or the scientific method) provides a framework to develop and evaluate tools to construct a representation of this reality.
