While among atheists no one leads at atheism, here is what Dawkins said

   After two hours of conversation, Professor Dawkins walks
   far afield. He talks of the possibility that we might 
   co-evolve with computers, a silicon destiny. And he�s
   intrigued by the playful, even soul-stirring writings 
   of Freeman Dyson, the theoretical physicist.
   
   In one essay, Professor Dyson casts millions of speculative
   years into the future. Our galaxy is dying and humans have
   evolved into something like bolts of superpowerful
   intelligent and moral energy."
   
   [So the context of discussion is now established as being 
   in Dyson's far future, and the following must be interpreted
   in that context]
    
   "Doesn�t that description sound an awful lot like God?"
   
   [Again establishing that the context is Dyson's future universe]
   
   �Certainly,� Professor Dawkins replies. �It�s highly
    plausible that in the [Dyson future] universe there
    are God-like creatures.�
  
   He raises his hand, just in case a reader thinks he�s gone
   around a religious bend. �It�s very important to 
   understand that these [future] Gods came into being by an
   explicable scientific progression of incremental evolution.�
   
   Could they be immortal? 
   
   The professor shrugs. �Probably not.� He smiles and adds ,
   �But I wouldn�t want to be too dogmatic about that.�
