Dear Richard Dawkins,
I just wanted to thank you for opening my eyes to science and to the solved and unresolved mysteries of the universe!
Really, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart!
My short little story is actually pretty simple: I never was a religious person and nor...
I came to my conversion after reading hitchhikers guide I read it when I was 20 and fell in love and I couldn't quite figure out why. So now im 22 and several tragedies later im primed to turn to religion and if I had this would be the part where I picked up a bible, but I picked up my copy of...
Dear Professor Dawkins,
I am writing to thank you for solidifying my non-belief. Literally I can't thank you enough. I wasn't raised in such a rigorously religious environment but I did believe in god when I was younger. I lost my faith on my own around 16, but have felt shaky about my...
Professor Dawkins, I would love to come out of the closet. I live in a rural area populated with conservative and religious people, so I’m constantly fighting social pressure to pray about every issue. I’m the odd woman out. I feel better when hearing you speak on Bill Maher’s show. Your words...
Dear Mr Dawkins
As a musician I tend to portrait all my most intimate feelings and thoughts when I compose music. I wrote a song called "Former Heroes" because I was feeling very disappointed about people that I used to look up to but became aware of their weaknesses and dishonesty. Things...
Dear Dr. Dawkins,
My name is Heather and I am a registered nurse in Canada. I wanted to write and thank you for your hard work, tireless research, and seemingly endless writing, lecturing and teaching. I am halfway through your fascinating and lovely novel The Greatest Show on Earth, and am...
More than anything, I have to express my undying gratitude for the endless hours of entertainment I've found in watching your debates and reading your books. Before I even knew of your existence and the fight you've spearheaded, I was already an atheist, but the solidarity I feel now is thanks to...
Dear Professor Dawkins,
I would like to offer my thanks for the work you do in helping the world to understand science and evolution. In particular I have benefited greatly from the philosophical discussions you have had with Daniel Dennett and others regarding the 'spiritual' implications of...
Dear Richard,
There are very few people of whom I can say that they changed my life and you happened to be one of them. I have never been religious in terms of believing in talking snakes and going to church every Sunday and people around me rarely show their affiliation with any faith so to...
Dear Professor Dawkins,
While I would like to give a wondrous story of my conversion to atheism - to invoke images of miraculous revelation not unlike divine intervention - I cannot. The fact of the matter is that my realization into atheism was a gradual one. Unfortunately, my circumstances...
Dear Prof. Dawkins,
I have recently felt the very strong urge to write down my thoughts on paper of my recent revelations about God and religion. This compulsion has led from hearing you speak on online videos as well as other notable figures (particularly Christopher Hitchens). I thank you...
Dear Mr. Dawkins,
I am not here to say I am a convert; I am here to thank you for something extremely near to me and my heart. On the contrary I have always been the punished and have been the one left out in a Catholic raised family. With 4 brothers who utilize what seems to me as rudimentary...
