In 1995, Gates wrote "The Road Ahead" (with Nathan Myhrvold and Peter Rinearson), which embarrassingly omitted any mention of the internet in its first edition. In 1999, Gates wrote "Business @ the Speed of Thought".

While Bill Gates has described himself as an [[atheist]], his wife Melinda Gates is a [[pro-life]] [[Catholic]] considered to be responsible for reducing donations of the Gates wealth directly to fund [[abortion]]. Nevertheless, the [[Gates Foundation]] - a charitable foundation especially known for work on HIV/AIDS in Africa - established by Bill and Melinda Gates provides substantial grants to organizations that promote abortion, such as the [[Planned Parenthood]] of Western Washington (recipient of a $200,000 grant from the Gates Foundation in January 3, 2007 for a youth development program). Moreover, a smaller percentage of grants by the Gates Foundation supports faith-based programs than even the federal government does.
