Dawkins is still alive, so as a self-declared "progressive" he can still be judged by modern progressive standards. He hasn't kept up and as such can no longer be considered to be advancing their cause.
During the Spanish Civil War they dug up mummified nuns, put them against a wall and gave them firing squads.
So no, time not a well-understood concept.
Seriously? Any reading you can recommend on that? I thought the cadaver synod was my "most ridiculous history" story, that may top it though.
I'd like to read about that as well. Also, it's funny how 1984 this timeline is. Little O'Brien's running around everywhere.
