Synopsis
A scientist argues that an individual's belief in God is illogical and/or foolish, and that organized religion has been behind a great deal of violence and harm throughout history. Richard Dawkins, from Oxford, considers the many conceptions of God and the many arguments for his existence, and finds them to be wanting. Atheism, says Dawkins, is a rational alternative that can provide a true appreciation of the wondrous bounty of the world.

Industry Reviews
"Mr. Dawkins is an atheist, an evolutionary biologist and an eloquent communicator about science, three passions that have allowed him to construct a particularly comprehensive case against religion. Everyone should read it."
(09/23/2006)
"What Dawkins brings to this approach is a couple of fresh arguments--no mean achievement, considering how thoroughly these issues have been debated over the centuries--and a great deal of passion. The book fairly crackles with brio."
(10/22/2006)
"[Dawkins has] got to go on the warpath--not only against the fundamentalists but against the sloppy logic and wishful thinking on which they batten. This is Dawkins's forte, and it is what makes THE GOD DELUSION such an entertaining read. Not one for politeness, he is the sort of fierce logic-chopper who chuckles nastily when coming across what he regards as some particularly choice bit of inanity."
