A preeminent scientist -- and the world's most prominent atheist -- asserts the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9/11.

With rigor and wit, Dawkins examines God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universe's wonders than any faith could ever muster.

To help you remove the blindfold of religion

January 23, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

More than just questioning the existence of God the book is about the devastating effects of religion throughout history and in our time as well. It offers very compelling arguments of why we’d be better off without it and devastates with solid logic any arguments in its favor. Presents lots of very interesting stories of the long debates of religion vs science and offers insightful theories on the evolution of religion and morality. At the end provides inspiration to seek the truth through science and find solace in it.

The author is very insightful and I like his style of writing, often times times sarcastic, but always very smart and appealing to logic and reason.

I found this book very educational and super interesting and has helped me solidify my beliefs with stronger arguments.

This book is for objective minds!

January 10, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Dawkins has written one of the best books I have ever read. I say this because he presents dense, but more importantly, unbiased objective arguments throughout the entire book. This book has actually inspired me to purchase an array of similar books.

Enjoyed this one

August 2, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This was an interesting book. I've read Hitchens, Barker, Harris and Ebling's for the humor. I don't understand how people can still fall for supernatural nonsense. In the age of scientific information, ingnorance is a choice. I'd rather read scores of books and come away with a handful of solid reasonable answers to life's questions than read the bible and think I know it all. I don't think we'll ever have all the "answers" but with input books like this one provides, we get enough. I don't need to know everything. I don't need a purpose. I don't need to know why I'm here. I just am. The whole punishment / reward afterlife thing is ridiculous, it wreeks of being a product of man's imagination, and who really wants to spend eternity with the god character depicted in the bible anyway? Someone said in a review for another book that people don't read widely or think deeply so religion and blind faith will be the track that most people will stay on. Unfortunate, but probably true. Well put at any rate. I always thought religion is the product of lazy minds. Anyway, I recommend this book to anyone " on the fence " concerning religion. If books like this don't, at the very least, shake your faith, then do us all a favor and check into the closest mental facility. Good day.

Brilliant book, as an atheist

May 17, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Brilliant book, as an atheist, I have argued online with all kinds of theists and people who believe in theories that have no evidence and proven wrong which are just gods with different faces after all. This book basically summarized most of the fallacies and logics that are needed to believe that the world and our universe's basics. But I don't think the "other side" will disappear because of education, because of people who just want to believe regardless of any logic or evidence and people who use religion as a tool to make profit or other returns.

And I also believe that any of those shall be free to exist as long as they do not force anyone to chose or providing no choice. Darkness can only be removed by light, any other ways will only make it stronger. So let's keep an open mind and use logic and evidence to push mankind forward altogether.

Gets you thinking

October 23, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book came at an important time in my life when I was seriously wondering what it was I believed in. I grew up in a Christian household and was never super active in my church but also never questioned what it was I was raised to believe; until, that is, I read this book. Personally I think that Richard Dawkins has a bit of a chip on his shoulder, but you can't deny his intelligence and the work he has put into this book. I would highly recommend this book

Very powerful arguments

Richard gives very clear points. I read The Selfish Gene many years ago and started questioning my beliefs. This one is very refreshing. Highly recommended.

A classic best read by agnostics or atheists or someone with an open mind.

May 21, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is a heavy book and is best for agnostics or atheists. You should be open-minded to read this book. Author is very particular about his opinions and point of view. Can be enjoyable, but it takes time to go through this book.
