It seems to me that Dawkins's chief (though by no means only) target is unthinking faith - and you can have that outside religion, particularly in politics. You certainly had it in Nazi Germany - and many Nazis were Christian. However, currently, religion pleads a unique privilege to ignore contrary evidence. Dawkins is happy to admit that he could be wrong, and would change his mind given evidence.
