RichardDawkins.net (Also RichardDawkinsFoundation.org) Is a website run by/for [[Richard Dawkins]] through which he sells [[Richard Dawkins Books|books]], [[Richard Dawkins Videos| videos]], and various merchandise; as well as the home to his [[Richard Dawkins forum|forums]]. The website is cluttered and busy looking, with very little sense of direction. On the front page there is a banner across the top with a picture of Richard Dawkins and the name of the site. Below that there is a navigation bar, below that there is a second banner directing people to buy his latest book [[The Greatest Show on Earth]]; a list of videos for sale is available down the left hand side of the page, and a list of books down the right hand side. Framed by these commercial spaces is a narrow column with various [[atheist]] news pieces and a wide column with large graphics directing visitors to the site store and presenting them with an excerpt of his latest book and a large professional photograph of Richard Dawkins. In short, RichardDawkins.net is a commercial site for [[Narcissism|promoting]] Richard Dawkins and selling products to enrich him.

Although his following of Dawkian atheist has significantly waned post [[Elevatorgate]] and due to his generally [[Abrasiveness of Richard Dawkins|abrasive manner]], as noted above, he does retain a small cult following (See: [[Richard Dawkins' cult of personality]] and [[Atheist cults]]). 

 

Dawkins is a leading figure in the [[New Atheism]] movement which was called a cult by the [[agnosticism|agnostic]], journalist Bryan Appleyard in a 2012 article in the ''New Statesman'' in which he describes the abusive behavior of New Atheists.<ref>[http://www.newstatesman.com/religion/2012/02/neo-atheism-atheists-dawkins ''The God wars'' by Bryan Appleyard], ''New Statesman''</ref> The Dawkian atheists have been able to to retain Richard Dawkins being labeled as an atheist in his [[Wikipedia]] article despite Dawkins repeatedly and adamantly declaring that he is an [[agnosticism|agnostic]] and/or flip-flopping his public persona between atheism and agnosticism (See: [[Richard Dawkins and agnosticism]]).
