you guys I found the article and it’s fantastic

they did in-depth interviews with 137 scientists and about 35% of them mentioned Dawkins unprompted, and about 80% of those were apparently just desperate to tell someone how much they hate him

28% of scientists hate Richard Dawkins so much that they just start spouting off about his bullshit unprompted.

The best part is that a good chunk of it is about his hateboner for religion, with even some non-religious scientists saying he “oversteps the bounds of what science should examine” 

Some of the scientists interviewed as part of the exercise were religious, and so might be expected to take against Dawkins’ often vociferous opposition to religion. But even scientists who didn’t believe in religion at all said that Dawkins work tended to overestimate the borders of what science can and should examine.

One even said he often carries evidence to far and presents it as more significant and damning of religion that it really is 

The common criticism was that Dawkins was too strong in his criticism of religion, and one nonreligious professor of biology referred to him as a “fundamental atheist”. “He feels compelled to take the evidence way beyond that which other scientists would regard as possible. … I want [students] to develop [science] in their own lives. And I think it’s necessary to understand what science does address directly.”
