Dear Mr Dawkins,
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for 'the god delusion', for your courage in telling the truth under the aggressive blanket of religion that covers the world, and for enlightening me to the light side of life.
I was raised Christian in the UK. Up until I was 25 i...
Hi there,
my name is Mathew and I am born and raised in Canada. I had been a Christian my whole life and both my parents are Christians themselves, and naturally this included visiting church "religiously". Up until the last year or so I would definitely have classified myself as a Christian...
Dear Richard Dawkins,
My name is Mathew Ferrari and I was brought up a Roman Catholic. When I was about 11 my faith started to wain. How could a big man in the sky create all of this? I started to see God as just an excuse for people to use who are too lazy to do some real digging. Well time...
Having a personal religious history - one of my own choosing, rather than one born of family indoctrination, it has been a difficult process to free myself from the mental stranglehold that superstition and dogma have had over me. At times, this struggle has been relatively smooth, whilst at...
Richard
I just wanted to let you know how much a enjoyed reading your book "The God Delusion" whilst on holiday in Tunisia with my family.
What faith or beliefs i had were shattered earlier this year with the sudden death of my mother.
I found your book very enlightening and should i dear to...
I grew up in a Christian home, and we used to go to Church every Sunday until I reached my teens. By that time, I decided I wanted to spend those two and a half hours (they tend to be longer here) doing something else than listening to another sermon I couldn't understand at the time anyway! The...
Hello Mr. Dawkins, and first of all THANK YOU for the knowledge that you fearlessly give to the world. It is needed.
I was not raised in an overly religious home, though my mom does consider herself a christian, which goads me to no end, because she is a smart and, for the most part, rational...
Dear Dr. Dawkins,
I'm 52, and I have been a faithful Jehovah's Witness all my life.
However, being a curious man, I have read my Bible many, many times (in French and English), with the intent of studying it, and knowing it in depth. I went door to door, with the confidence and the clout of...
Dear Dr. Dawkins,
Douglas Adam's is not the only convert to atheism!
I'm sure you would have gotten the message by now, by the tons of letters you receive. Still I thought it would be better of me to congratulate you for your book. Frankly speaking, I had a lot of difficulty in obtaining '...
I was raised by a very Catholic family. To keep it simple; witnessing their struggles with drinking and drug addiction while at the same time being forced to attend a private religious school as well as church services with my family caused me to doubt the entire thing.
But it was the books I...
I was raised in a Baptist household near Cleveland, Ohio. I was a naturally curious child and loved to read and learn. I absorbed knowledge like a sponge and always sought more.
When I neared my teenage years, I started to question the religion I was brought up to believe. I had so many...
Dear Professor Richard Dawkins,
Being brought up in a powerfully Protestant Christian-based household (baptist, to be more precise), I spent my entire underage life believing without a shadow of doubt in my mind the beliefs my parents and religious instructors enforced in me, taking every word...
