 RICHARD DAWKINS said in print: –

 "A supernatural creator almost certainly does
 not exist and religious faith is a delusion—
 (Wikipedia)

A person like Richard Dawkins chooses his words very carefully.

Notice there is the word "almost" before certainly.



al·most
/'ôlmost/
adverb
not quite;

That means he said 'not quite certain'...does not exist.

'not quite'. ALMOST!


"A supernatural creator *ALMOST* certainly does not exist..." 



*ALMOST*
