He says, to believe in no God is really no big deal: all you have to do is subtract 1 from the number of gods. I say, to believe in angels is really not a big deal, all you have to do is subtract 3 from the number of dimensions. Okay, this reply ain't brilliant. The real retort should be that going from polytheism to monotheism isn't a matter of subtraction, but a kind of addition. In other words, the One God isn't what you get when you subtract 2 gods from 3: it's what you get when you subtract all limitations of perfection: infinite, eternal, omnipresent, etc. Dawkins' problem is that he can't tell the difference.
