He's right, you know. This includes almost all related scholarly degrees in the realm of religion. The only thing that isn't useless is if you're getting some degree to actually serve the Church. To actually "minister" (the real definition of that word): to be of service somehow. Something Dawkins will never understand. But otherwise, I agree with him. And it goes for both skeptical (higher-critical) scholars or faithful ones who are just eggheads who don't know how to serve or speak to anyone. It's all useless.
Maybe the skeptics are the most useless though. I can't fathom how they churn out giant tomes, write a thousand research papers, and rise up the ranks of the "guild" all based on a subject that they themselves don't care about, let alone want to serve anyone with. What's even going on in their heads? They're neither respected by the Church or even other scholars in scientific fields like Dawkins. Just completely useless.
