A brilliant, if overzealous, British biologist who has published various works on why there is no need for a God/gods in the natural order of things, and why belief in such deities may be harmful to society. Though many religious people (and some nonreligious pacifists) find him abrasive and arrogant, Dawkins is a minority leader (yes, atheists are a minority!) who is not afraid to get in people's faces and defend his right to not believe whatever he wants. There is also the fact that religious leaders all over the world condemn atheists and other religions to hell (or something similar) because they don't follow a specific dogma, which is just as bad -if not worse - than trying to explain why deities are unnecessary.
Richard Dawkins's books are undoubtedly biased, but they really are quite informative and interesting.
