Viruses of the Mind 1993 is an article by Richard Dawkins using memetics and analogies with virus biological and computer virus es, and with disease and epidemiology , to analyse the propagation of ideas and behaviours. Its particular focus is on Religion religious beliefs and activities. The article is included in the books Dennett and His Critics Demystifying Mind ISBN 0 631 19678 1 and A Devil s Chaplain . In this article, Dawkins coined the term faith sufferer . The second episode of Dawkins two part television programme The Root of All Evil? explored similar ideas and took a similar name, The Virus of Faith . Content Dawkins defines the symptoms of being infected by the virus of religion , providing examples for most of them, and tries to define a connection between the elements of religion and its survival value invoking Amotz Zahavi Zahavi s handicap principle of sexual selection , applied to believers of a religion . Dawkins also describes religious beliefs as mind parasites , and as gangs nowiki that nowiki will come to constitute a package, which may be sufficiently stable to deserve a collective name such as Roman Catholicism ... or ... component parts to a single virus . Dawkins suggests that religious belief in the faith sufferer typically shows the following elements It is impelled by some deep, inner conviction that something is true, or right, or virtuous a conviction that doesn t seem to owe anything to evidence or reason, but which, nevertheless, the believer feels as totally compelling and convincing. The believer typically makes a positive virtue of faith s being strong and unshakable, despite it not being based upon evidence. There is a conviction that mystery , per se , is a good thing the belief that it is not a virtue to solve mysteries but to enjoy them and revel in their insolubility. There may be intolerant behaviour towards perceived rival faiths, in extreme cases even the killing of opponents or advocating of their deaths. Believers may ... more details
