Dr. Dawkins,
I was brought up primarily by a single mother who juggled raising her two children and working arduously as a field biologist for the (formerly) Department of Environmental Regulation that played a heavily influential role in the creation and development of many of the...
Hello, I am an Atheist by birth; (we all are) and thankfully I was never brought up religious. My Mother was forced to attend Catholic church when she was young and had to listen to preachings about Hell and Damnation. After she got older her Mother told her she didn't have to go anymore; she was...
Over the last year I have had the opportunity to view many of your utube offerings as well as those of the recently past Christopher Hitchens . My wife and I come from families at opposite ends of the faith spectrum. She was unfortunately raised in a family of evangelical christians . I...
Dear Mr. Richard Dawkins,
I am an atheist by birth - like any other child. As my parents didn't choose child abuse, I remained an atheist till today (6.999999 on your scale). Similarly I don't abuse children due to which my children are atheists as well.
The biggest concern to me is when I...
From past few days i had the pleasure of viewing your talks on YouTube. I have found your arguments about the whole religion and particularly god to be quite fascinating . Needless to say , you have backed your arguments with the required proof to follow up. Undoubtedly no one can disagree about...

I know anecdotes like this must crop up a lot.
Here's one more that astonished me.

In a frightening and tragic way, a sink hole has opened up under a house and swallowed a young man alive....
In planning this letter, it was difficult to know exactly to whom I should address it; the clergy? The President, Prophet, Seer, and Revelator of the church I was raised in? Could a multi-addressee solution be what I needed, dedicating my words to every religious authority available to me?...
What sort of role has intolerance, especially religious, played in human evolution through artificial selection? Much akin to that of all domesticated dogs. We as humans chose certain wolves with certain characteristics, ironically enough, in this case those characteristics were less...
Dear Mr Dawkins
Thank you for being so honest with yourself and with all World.
That makes me brave enough to be myself, even in a counrty, where everyone hates me for what I am and how I think.I read your books and that makes me feel so good, despite all painful loneliness. I mean, I can't...
