  • "Viruses of the Mind" (1991) is an essay by Richard Dawkins using memetics and analogies with biological and computer viruses, and with disease and epidemiology, to analyse the propagation of ideas and behaviours. Its particular focus is on religious beliefs and activities. The essay is included in the books Dennett and His Critics: Demystifying Mind and A Devil's Chaplain. In this essay, 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".
  • Virus della Mente (1991) è un saggio di Richard Dawkins che utilizza la memetica ed alcune analogie con virus biologici e informatici, con l'epidemiologia e con malattie fisiche, al fine di analizzare la propagazione di idee e di comportamenti. Il saggio si concentra particolarmente sulle credenze e sulle usanze religiose, ed è compreso nel libro Il cappellano del Diavolo. In questo saggio, Dawkins coniò il termine ammalato di fede. Il secondo episodio del programma televisivo in due parti realizzato da Dawkins, The Root of All Evil?, ha affrontato argomenti simili, ispirandosi al saggio anche nel titolo: "Il Virus della Fede" ("The Virus of Faith").
