Richard Dawkins profoundly reshaped my understanding of the world by emphasizing the power of evolutionary Biology in explaining the complexity of life. His book, "The Selfish Gene," introduced me to the concept of genes as the primary units of natural selection, shifting my perspective on evolution from a focus on species to the molecular level. Additionally, his advocacy for scientific skepticism and rational thought encouraged me to question beliefs and seek evidence-based explanations for phenomena. This combination of insights has fostered a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of life and the importance of critical thinking.

Dawkins self identifies himself as an atheist and states in the opening chapter of "The God Delusion": "God is a delusion. ... Human thoughts and emotions emerge from exceedingly complex interconnections of physical entities within the brain. An atheist in this sense of philosophical naturalist is somebody who believes there is nothing beyond the natural, physical world, no supernatural creative intelligence lurking behind the observable universe, no soul that outlasts the body and no miracles - except in the sense of natural phenomena that we don't yet understand."

Why is Richard Dawkins so aggressively atheistic?

Dawkins simply states facts the way he and many others see them. Adjectives like aggressive are an interpretation of the state of mind of the listener not the speaker. Dawkins' training is in science where all things are put to rigorous tests. Proposals which do not meet these tests are discarded. Religious proposals - gods, the effectiveness of prayers, miracles do not pass these tests and are rightfully dismissed. If there is any "tone" to Dawkins it is frustration that proofs are not accepted much like Sagan talking to his neighbor about the dragon in the neighbor's garage (see Link)AnswerTo add to the above answer, Richard Dawkins and other scientists, philosophers, and intellectuals who are counted among the New atheists, find mainstream science too accommodating to religion for financial reasons. Also they see that religion has done and is doing much more harm in the world than good. To quote Victor J. Stenger; "Science flies men to the moon, religion flies men into buildings".
