We're pleased to welcome Richard Dawkins for a webchat on Wednesday 23 June from 10am-11am. Richard is a celebrated evolutionary biologist and atheist, and author of the best-selling God Delusion.

He has presented programmes on Channel Four that range from enthusing about the Genius of Charles Darwin to arguing against religion in Root of All Evil?

His latest project is taking a long hard look at education and the role religion continues to play in it.

He wants to hear first-hand from Mumsnetters what faith and church schools are really like. How successful are they? Are they selection by another means? Are they divisive? And are they making hypocrites out of non-believing parents who go to church just to send their children to them?

If you can't make the discussion but want to contribute, please post your views here.

Thanks and hope you can join us.

We're delighted to say that Richard is here at the Towers and screenside. He's kicked his shoes off and is ready to go so he'll be with you in a minute.

Yes that's a wrap guys - Richard and crew are still here, doing a bit of filming for a C4 documentary on this subject planned to go out around mid-August - we'll let you know when date is fixed. Thank you everyone for participating in a very lively debate. And thanks, of course, to Richard for coming on.

Thought you might all like to know that Richard Dawkins' documentary The Faith School Menace (which may or may not feature footage of Dawkins at MNHQ for this webchat) will be shown this Wed August 18th at 9pm on More4.

Little update - Mumsnetters did make the final edit, as did Justine, says Molly, the producer.
