Book Reviews of The God Delusion

Book Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

Richard Dawkins, world-renowned biologist, takes on religion and belief in god. In 'The God Delusion', he argues that religious faith is irrational and downright dangerous to society. Dawkins does an excellent job disproving arguments given for the existence of a god, such as the Argument from Design, while also showing how science can explain many things in the universe, and how far more beautiful the scientific explanations are. Oh, and he backs his claims up with evidence, something theists refuse to do. I recommend this book to any rational person whose brain is not shut off due to religious indoctrination

Summary of The God Delusion

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.
