Product Description
In his sensational international bestseller, the preeminent scientist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins delivers a hard-hitting, impassioned, but humorous rebuttal of religious belief. With rigor and wit, Dawkins eviscerates the arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of the existence of a supreme being. He makes a compelling case that faith is not just irrational, but potentially deadly. In a preface written for the paperback edition, Dawkins responds to some of the controversies the book has incited. This brilliantly argued, provocative book challenges all of us to test our beliefs, no matter what beliefs we hold.

5 out of 5 stars Book of Enlightenment. Everyone should read this!   December 1, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This should be a requirement in schools! I'm glad people are finally speaking out against religion. This book gives you details of why a belief in gods is so stupid. I wish everyone would read this book!


5 out of 5 stars Renewed Faith   December 1, 2008
 0 out of 3 found this review helpful

Every Christian should read this book. As a Christian I always like to know the objections to my faith. And for any belief (i.e.Darwinism) there is a bit of faith required. I'm sure each individual has issues with their faith - that's why its faith. But don't expect to find many legitiate objections here. After reading this book my faith actually increased to see that there is such a weak case against it. Although to be honest I think I could come up with better objections. The general gist is a few strawmen, poor logic, and to my surprise some circular logic.


5 out of 5 stars Brilliant   November 30, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I read this book after admitting to myself that my faith had been reduced to nothing. I was brought up in the church, and swallowed it whole from a young age. It wasn't until later when I moved away from small town Texas that I found myself in an environment that encouraged critical thinking and a questioning attitude.

I had been thinking about my religious upbringing for some time, and how I might have been different had I been brought up in a different religious environment. I have been questioning the effects of blind faith in our world, and how impacts me as a member of the US Armed Forces.

I am college educated, and consider myself to be a free thinker, but my critical thinking horizons have been expanded in ways that I cannot easily describe in this format. The best thing about this book for me is that I have recommended it to as many non-believers as I have devout followers. I have found that it has always resulted in constructive conversations, that have made it easier to discuss religion in ways that aren't typically acceptable. It has helped to put religion in the same intellectual area as economic theory and international relations - arenas that are eligible to be analyzed and discussed from a scientific basis, rather than from blind faith. I must admit that I haven't made any converts, but it has made my personal convictions much easier to explain in a non-hostile way, while maintaining a professional working environment.



1 out of 5 stars Dawkins--the anti-fanatic fanatic   November 28, 2008
 1 out of 9 found this review helpful

The sine qua non of all true rationalism is a distrust of --'enthusiasm.' The good professor, however, is about as zealous a human being as any who has ever blazed across the pages of religious history. Can one possibly trust such a man's judgment about such important matters? You well know the answer.


2 out of 5 stars Lacking in intellectual sophistication   November 27, 2008
 1 out of 5 found this review helpful

I have little doubt that when Professor Dawkins writes a book about biology, he researches his topic in great detail, finds out what preceding work has been done, and scrupulously gives the proper credit for preceding work.

Why, then, has Professor Dawkins written a book about religion without doing adequate research on the subject?--in particular, without reading any of the most significant previous critics of religion--without, even, being familiar with the best known of these critics, such as Spinoza and Nietzsche?

Because of his lack of research, Professor Dawkins often unwittingly duplicates the arguments of his predecessors, and gives no credit where it is due. It is unfathomable to me that a man could publish a book while remaining so complacently ignorant of the subject matter.

It is not that Professor Dawkins is wrong. The most intellectually sophisticated men have known for the entire history of Western culture that gods are fictions--literary creations, not entities that exist outside of the human imagination. (For an intelligent and thoughtful history of the long record of opposition between intellect and myth, see Doubt: A History: The Great Doubters and Their Legacy of Innovation from Socrates and Jesus to Thomas Jefferson and Emily Dickinson.)

What is remarkable is that men cling to belief in God, both in its original form and in various modified and attenuated forms--in other words, that the fictions of religion are so much more influential than any other sort of fiction. To understand why these fictions persist despite their intellectual untenability, we need to understand the psychology of belief. The following classic works have excellent discussions on this subject and I would recommend reading them rather than The God Delusion:

The Essential Spinoza: Ethics And Related Writings

Basic Writings of Nietzsche (Modern Library Classics)

The Future of an Illusion
