At the risk of dissecting the comment, ruining it, I'm not trying to make an analogy. The point of my comment is that Dawkins' snowclone is not very telling when you can use it to suggest patent absurdities.
The point of Dawkins' "atheists just go one God farther" is that the difference between monotheists and atheists is one of degree, ie monotheists are skeptical but not skeptical enough. On the contrary, the difference is one of kind, two alien cultures that require some deep translation to speak to one another's concerns.
