Dawkins, Dennett and Blackmore have written about mind viruses but none have taken a microscopic view of religion as a mind virus. Darrel's God Virus explores in detail the methods of infection within individuals as well as political systems. The God Virus has been among the best sellers for books on Atheism on Amazon (US). Dr. Ray is a professional speaker and has lectured on The God Virus at many major universities in the US including UC Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Purdue, Indiana University, U of Alabama as well as The American Atheist Convention, and several CFI chapters including CFI Los Angeles in the Steve Allen Theater.
