  Dimbleby, Richard
Richard Dimbleby was the personification of British television current affairs broadcasting in the 1950s and early 1960s and set the standard for succeeding generations of presenters on the network, by whom he was recognized as the virtual founder of broadcast journalism.
Dimbleby did, though, also tackle lighter fare, and was much loved as chairman of the radio programme Twenty Questions and as presenter of the homely Down Your Way series, in which he sought out prominent members of a given locality and passed the time of day with them.
Dimbleby's premature death from cancer at the age of 52, shortly after broadcasting to 350 million people on the state funeral of Winston Churchill, was regretted by millions of viewers, and subsequently the annual Richard Dimbleby lectures were established in his memory.

 Positive Atheism's Big List of Richard Dawkins Quotations
My point is not that religion itself is the motivation for wars, murders and terrorist attacks, but that religion is the principal label, and the most dangerous one, by which a "they" as opposed to a "we" can be identified at all.
Of course, excellent organizations already exist for raising funds and deploying them in service of reason, science and enlightenment values…But the money that these organizations can raise is dwarfed by the huge resources of religious foundations such as the Templeton Foundation, not to mention the tithe-bloated, tax-exempt churches.
I believe that an orderly universe, one indifferent to human preoccupations, in which everything has an explanation even if we still have a long way to go before we find it, is a more beautiful, more wonderful place than a universe tricked out with capricious ad hoc magic.
