It wasn't irrelevant, though. It was about as relevant as it gets, because all forms of spiritualism are built on Cartesian dualism.
Right, but Berkeley was 1st & foremost a philosopher, and his ideas are an exception and not a rule within the broad church (hehe) of Anglicanism (or Christianity). Rowan Williams, the leader of the CofE, believes in mind-body dualism. Which is why Dawkins would have attacked it.

Williams is a philosopher & theologian & nothing Berkeley said was incompatible with Anglicanism. CoE isn't so uniform or unsophisticated

Which is Dawkins problem, he thinks the religious are irrational because he attacks an irrational, generalising caricature of the religious.

Anglicanism is not a theology, but a denomination. Berkeley was an Anglican.
