Oxford scholar and author Richard Dawkins has contributed a reading of a chapter from the Song of Solomon to the 2011 Trust's YouTube Bible project.
Professor Dawkins was asked why he wanted to participate in the initiative. "You can't appreciate English literature unless you are steeped to some extent in the King James Bible", he replied, "people don't know that proverbial phrases which make echoes in their minds come from this Bible. We are a Christian culture, we come from a Christian culture and not to know the King James Bible, is to be in some small way, barbarian". (source)
