Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist and the former Charles Simonyi Professor For The Understanding Of Science at Oxford University. Dawkins first came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centered view of evolution and introduced the term meme. Dawkins is known as an outspoken atheist. He is well known for his criticism of creationism and intelligent design. His background includes a PhD in zoology from Oxford University and has written numerous popular and academic books on topics ranging from evolutionary biology to genetics. In recent years he has been in high demand giving lectures on the defence of an atheist-secularist position as well as critiquing the Intelligent Design movement. The God Delusion is the most famous and most controversial book. It makes the case for the lack of a deity. The God Delusion has a companion miniseries, originally titled Root of All Evil? Although the main purpose of the book is to argue against that specific belief, it also argues against theism itself. Dawkins makes use of the argument about Darwinism and evolution to criticize theism. The book has been enormously effective, selling millions of copies in over thirty languages. It communicates frustration with a religious belief that resonated with many people, producing a class of people who regard themselves openly as atheists because of Dawkins arguments and his vocal criticism of religious belief.
