Richard Dawkins is Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford. His nine books have earned him honorary doctorates in literature and science, and he is a Fellow of both the Royal Society and the Royal Society of Literature. His many prizes include the Cosmos International Prize, the Nakayama Prize for Human Science and the Shakespeare Prize for Distinguished Contributions to British Culture. In 2006 he created the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science. New British school guidelines encourage students to play the roles of such figures as Galileo, Darwin and Dawkins while debating science and creationism.

Dick has recently set up his personal 'charity', the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Religious Hatred (RDFRH). Its stated mission is "to promote the widespread hatred of all religions and the irrational misrepresentation of all religious people, their beliefs, conduct and motivations." The 'charity' ... hopes "to wipe religion off the map for good" and replace it with much more rational stuff, such as pantheism, liberalism, left-wing politics and Darwinism.
