Dear Professor Dawkins,

Just thought I'd write in to say thanks for penning The God Delusion. I'm currently stuck into the Magic of Reality and I plan to take on your other books in due course.

The God Delusion is probably the most important book I've ever read. You see, I was bought up...

Dear Professor Dawkins,

I used to be a christian child, and over time I gradually became more apathetic to religion as a whole. I was in some sense still a christian, but I just didn't think much about it. Then, like many of the people on this site, I stumbled onto "The God Delusion." I was...

Dear Mr. Dawkins,

I wish that I had some sort of amazing experience to share with you, but my story is about the same as everyone else. I promised a friend a couple years ago that I would read through "The God Delusion" and finally owned up to my commitment. I'm already 22, and this is...

Don't be afraid. It's OK. Calm yourselves. No need to descend into apoplectic rage because there are atheists in the world.

The framework of how you view your lives is thousands of years old developed by 'mystics' and 'prophets' who had no insight into our enlightened age of reason and...

Dear Proffesor Dawkins,

I’m sure that you must get a ton of letters that you don’t get the time to read but in case you do find the time to glance at this I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you.

It has been so comforting for me to read The God Delusion. I was brought up in a loosely...

I've been watching the exodus on the history channel. The history channel, like it is some type factual account of history. I'm seeing red right now. It lend some type of credence to this fairy tale to the uneducated zealots I live with in America that they are treating it as historical fact....

Dr. Dawkins,

When I was 8 years old, my parents enrolled me in a private Roman Catholic school, where I was indoctrinated.

In my early high school years, I had been only a few degrees shy of being a biblical literalist. The only bit of dogma I rejected was that the earth was 6000 years old....

Hi Richard,

Hope this mail finds you in good spirit and I hope your enjoying the success of your new book ‘ The Magic of Reality’.

I would like to thank you for all your efforts to infuse rationality and reason into the society around us. I’m a ‘born again Atheist’. I was born as an...

Dear Richard Dawkins,

I have been going about in my mind, for the best possible way to illustrate my appreciation of your work. You are someone, whom I admire greatly. I truly hope you can read this letter.

I want to say, it was an honor to meet you the other day at a book signing, I...

Professor Dawkins,

I'll try not to bore you with a long winded tale of my departure from my upbringing, since it is simply not as extreme as other stories you will have read. However, I feel the need to tell you of the impact you have had on my life.

I was brought up in what I can only...

Richard, or whoever is on deck,

Instinctively I knew that reading The Ancestor’s Tale would be worth the amount of concentration it required from laymen. How could a 600 page textbook keep drawing me in with ever-increasing interest?

It is worth the effort just to get to the last few...
