Why is Richard Dawkins not one of the living saints of the church?
After all, with his views of selfish gene, and the invention of the term "meme", he has contributed to sciences of memetics, genetics and biology...

It has been determined that no living saints will be appointed. Refer http://www.churchofvirus.org/wiki/VirianSaint.

The problem of "living saints" is they could always disappoint us. I'm still interested in promoting Alan Turing to sainthood.
excerpt from wikipedia:
Quote:| In 1999, Time Magazine named Turing as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century for his role in the creation of the modern computer, and stated: "The fact remains that everyone who taps at a keyboard, opening a spreadsheet or a word-processing program, is working on an incarnation of a Turing machine." [1] In 2002, Turing was ranked twenty-first on the BBC nationwide poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.[2] His Turing test was a significant and characteristically provocative contribution to the debate regarding artificial intelligence. |

Personally I'm voting for St. Macchiavelli? But then I have referred to him as a Saint for the last 20 yrs+ of my life ever sense I read "the Prince" in college... or was it High School... Ah the 80's were very good to me ;-}-  , except for the tour of duty in Columbia... Heck how about a Saint Mussashi? or St. Agrippa?(well that one may just be pushing my luck as I doubt many here has read his "Three Books of Occult Philosophy" and I think he was already Sainted by the O.TO.'s Gnostic Catholic Church).
