Is Richard Dawkins leading people to Jesus?

Winning souls for Christ!
My schoolfriend Michael – an atheist for decades – rang me the other night and told me he'd returned to the Catholic Church. "And you'll never guess who converted me," he said.
"Your wife?"
"No! It was Richard Dawkins!"
He explained that he was, and is, a huge admirer of Dawkins the biologist. (I'm with him there: I read The Blind Watchmaker when it first came out and was blown away.) "But then I read The God Delusion and it was… total crap. So bad that I started questioning my own atheism. Then he started tweeting."
Like a loony on top of the bus, no?
"Exactly!"
Funnily enough, this is the second time in a week that I've heard of Richard Dawkins leading someone to Christ...
