The God Delusion By Richard Dawkins | A Magnificent Book

The God Delusion: When it was published in 2006  it created a sensation. It was the most widely discussed subject within weeks, with Dawkins branding himself as either a saint or a sinner for delivering his hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of all forms of religion. His point probably couldn't be more topical. Although Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dividing opinion across the world drastically and dangerously. A robust controversy between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism in America and elsewhere is severely damaging and curtailing science teaching. In many countries medieval religious belief still serves to abuse fundamental human rights such as women's and gay rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind. In all its forms, Dawkins attacks God. He eviscerates the key reasons for belief, and shows a divine being's divine improbability. He explains how religion causes conflict, promotes bigotry and exploits children. The God Delusion is a beautifully argued, insightful polemic that will require reading for anyone interested in this most emotional and important subject.
