Richard Dawkins is an English evolutionary biologist, ethologist, and author, best known for his advocacy of atheism and science communication. He gained prominence with his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene," which popularized the gene-centered view of evolution and introduced the concept of memes. Dawkins has since authored several influential works, including "The God Delusion," which critiques religion and promotes secularism.
We are all atheists about most of the gods humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.
An Internet meme is a hijacking of the original idea. Instead of mutating by random change and spreading by a form of Darwinian selection, Internet memes are altered deliberately by human creativity. There is no attempt at accuracy of copying, as with genes - and as with memes in their original version.
