Even back in 2010, Dawkins himself stated that he'd come to think that Christianity was ultimately "a bulwark against something worse".
Dawkins may say that, but he doesn't act like he believes it to be true. He still publicly spars with the religious and mocks religious beliefs.
Someone who truly believed that Christianity was "a bulwark against something worse" would either defend that thing or at least stop attacking it in order to avoid the worse outcome. Instead he gives material support to those who want the worse outcome.
I love that he uses the same dismissive to opposing viewpoints attitude in both tweets. It's a big part of what makes these people so frustratingly annoying.

He's a senile old man at this point. Has been ever since his stroke.
He's never going to change his ways now, no matter what.
He's had occasional bouts of lucidity, but they are few and far between.
