Dear Professor Dawkins,
I would like to thank you for your fantastic book 'The God Delusion'. Before I started reading, I was very much an agnostic, but as I made my way through the book, I was completely bowled over by the truth you were writing. You were thinking what I was thinking...
Dear Professor Dawkins,
It took me 30 years to pry myself loose of the Roman Catholic religion I was indoctrinated into. Unfortunately I haven't been able to bring my family into the light of reason with me, at least not yet. It was merely 5 weeks before I purchased "The God Delusion" that...
I have long been highly sceptical of religion but was yet to articulate the opinions I was coming to form.
Your programme on Channel Four, The Root Of All Evil?, gave me enormous clarity.
I am now reading The God Delusion and enjoying it thoroughly.
I now enjoy engaging others on the subject...
Dear Professor Dawkins,
Whilst I'm afraid that I can't give you the credit for my current Atheism, I would still like to share my thoughts and feelings on the subject with the other readers of Converts Corner.
I still feel vaguely disgusted with myself for the time that I spent learning...
Dear Dr. Dawkins,
I want to reassure you that you are making a difference. You and others like you, from the pugnacious Sam Harris to the revolutionary Daniel Dennett to the heroic James Randi, are freeing minds at this very moment. Few legacies will deserve more credit than yours come the day...
Dear Professor Dawkins,
As many of your readers, I have been brought up as a "Christian child", not realizing that I was in fact merely the child of Christian parents. I have recently left my faith behind and now consider myself an Atheist, with pride I might add. Your book has provided me with...
Dear Richard,
I am happy to say that your book "The God Delusion" is responsible for 100% of my conversion to Atheism. However, I am sad to say that it may cost me my girlfriend. She is more Christian than God. Although I tried explaining to her my reasons for being an atheist, she just...
Mr. Dawkins,
I just recently finished reading your book The God Delusion and I must say it was very inspiring. For one, it gave me a topic for my psychology CRP (similar to a dissertation). I plan to study the harmful effects of indoctrinating (a.k.a. brainwashing) young children in religious...
I was raised catholic and ironically left that path because i was opposed to lack of truth that the church was portraying. However due to circumstances in life i was swayed in to attending a Pentecostal church for the better part of three years. Thankfully i have returned to my intelligent,...
Dr. Dawkins,
I do not expect a response to this email; in fact, I do not really expect you to have time to read it. But for myself, I wanted to send it for two reasons:
1. To thank you for writing The God Delusion;
2. To briefly relate my experience with religion deep in the fabled heart of...
Dear Mr. Dawkins,
Although it would be dishonest to give you full credit for turning me into an atheist, your efforts have helped me feel more confident about it. Religious fundamentalism is a widespread political mechanism that relies on fear, hatred, xenophobia and ignorance in order to force...
I have always been an atheist. I was raised by Christian parents and had siblings that were also believers but I essentially gave up my belief in God and Santa Claus at the same time. We lived on a farm and I observed that the visible evidence was that animals had sex, made babies, grew old and...
