Dear Mr Dawkings
I've been an admirer of your work since graduation. I live in Brazil, a country with a lot of poverty and sadly, the evangelical churches like Universal church are taking control of the great masses. And worse, it's not enough to take 10% of these people incomings, they're taking the votes and...
Dear Richard
I am not sure if you realize how many lives you have touched and changed for the better through your lifelong work. I am one of them, and hence i wanted to thank you.
Born to a Catholic family, I went through my fair share of brainwashing through Sunday school, bible classes and retreats,...

Dear Dr. Dawkins
I watched your “The Root of All Evil?”
Very interesting. I share your concerns and agree for the most part with your opinion.
I myself had a girlfriend who is Evangelist. She once asked me if I could see her holy ring shinning around her head at night?!?!
Today I do...
Greeting Mr. Dawkins
Mr. Dawkins, I'm an high school student and been an atheist for over six months now after several unfortunate events happen in my life as well as seeing with my own eyes of why religions is dangerous for those who are mentally unstable. I used to question a lot of catholic teaching as a child and...
Hello, sir! My name is Teresa. I was born in 1983 in Florida to a pair of pseudo-hippies who after "dabbling" with ouija boards in Cassadaga had their attention turned toward playing peaceful songs about Jesus on acoustic guitars in a very non-threatening kind of way. We went to church every...
Dear Richard Dawkins
Hi I would like to thank you for all you are doing, I'm in a conversion step giving me realize what would be the world if did not exist religion and it truly is rewarding what the mind of a person may see and imagine.
I am very grateful for the work that wrote about The God Delusion i opened...
Dear Dr. Dawkins,
I write this letter from the Czech Republic, which is often said to be one of the least religious countries of the world. Last census showed 20.6% of people here label themselves as believers (down from 2001's 32.2%), and only 13.9% adhere to specific religions. We have secular public education...
Dear Richard
In Mexico as you may already know, most people are Catholics and i used to be one too.
However i've always questioned the ways of the lord and eventually became non theist.
I read your book the greatest show on earth and have seen way too many debates of creationism vs evolution by ways...
Dear Richard,
I'd like to thank you so much for revealing the truth about our existence to me. I was never religious when I was young, nor did I much care about learning about why things are. Throughout my teenage years I was weary of religion, and grew to despise it's teachings, but I did not...
Hi Richard
Hello Richard,
I'm writing you From Turkey.
After watching your giraffe autopsy video, I had a assertion about non existent of intelligent design. I think that if there was a intelligent designer, he could simply create us with an anus that wider than rectum, so we never get...
Dear Dr. Dawkins!
The RuNet* Atheist Council would like to congratulate you on becoming Number One of Prospect's World Thinkers' 2013 poll.
This voting result shows that intelligence and scientific cognition are still valued by people. This also inspires a hope while thinking about the...
Dr. dawkins
Your ways are rather harsh on the religious community and it only makes them put their defences up, if you wish for more effective converting I would suggest that you
present the religious with psychological factors in religion which gives personal comfort and behaviour lessons in exchange for...
