There is no justification to be "anti religious"; it is as sterotypical and biggoted as what the fundimentalists do to atheists. Though he is better read than Hitchens, they both paint all religion with single broad strokes, without any real distinction between varieties of religion. He is generally far more polite than hitchens about his views, but they are no less biggoted.

What makes him arrogant? Listen to his conversation with DeGrasse Tyson. Everything you want to know about him is in that amusing hour. Tyson lives in the real world, with real people, many views, and a world where people are often wrong. Dawkins isn't part of that world - he's elite, aloof, and it shows.

the women comment was mostly a joke because of something that (I think) got blown out of context.
