The Jesuits have known for centuries that the Bible is at best allegorical and at worst simple stories for simple folk. It is quite simple, a moral compass should not impinge on science.
If Dawkins sounds exasperated or religious it is because most of the time he is interviewed by ignorant fools or interviewers posing as religious believers using every debating trick in the book to undermine his rational message.
Science is not in the business of undermining any religious faith. Conflict occurs when some humans use faith as a control mechanism on other humans citing pseudoscience to prove the existence of the god of choice. They then have a conflict of interest when science points out their ideas are merely delusions used to inflict control on others.
The solution used to be burning at the stake for the heretic. Now it is ridicule infront of an audience that barely knows what day it is.
