You will never see an atheist truly have the "last word" as O'Reilly pretends to proffer.<br /> It is rarer still, that we ever see (and I've never seen) the host or other guests actually endorse the atheist position, because whatever their personal views, that might offend their viewer audience or network sponsors.<br /> To get a fair shake, you really need to have your own show (or network), just like the religious broadcasters do.<br /> From what I’ve seen, it is only very rarely that any atheist ever gets a chance to present his/her point of view on any television show without being interrupted, tag-teamed, or subsequently rebutted by the host or other guests, (all presumably in the spirit of presenting opposing points of view).

No matter how hot headed O'Reilly gets, Dawkins will completely keep his cool, naturally coming off as the better man. But then again, we're talking about O'Reilly's audience..

Exchanging opinions and puting his point of view. <br /> I wouldn't be surprised if he handles Bill O'Reilly really well - but like everyone is saying here it's O'Reilly whose likely to spit the dummy. "But but Sir, if we all had your view, we wouldn't have any morals" "And and what about communism and Hitler?" "Are you really saying 250m americans are wrong?" "Come onnnn now!"
