Discussions with City authorities about a possible site stalled because "they can't be seen to be connected to anything to do with atheism", the project's architect, Tom Greenall, said.
IMO, that's evidence of need. Dawkins sure is a grumpy fellow. Human structures are evocative. I see no reason why you shouldn't make one and dedicate it to a non-religious worldview. It's very existence will result in endless discussions and contemplation on the subject. It's clear that Dawkin's really dislikes religion. He explains his reasoning very well. However, his feelings on religion have nothing to do with whether or not there is a God. I'm sure he'd admit that, but his actions seem to speak otherwise.
