Avg Customer Rating: 4 stars

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.


Customer Reviews


4 stars Extremely well-thought out and analytical
Richard Dawkins rationally analyzes why there is no god from every possible angle, and why religion hurts societies. Much of the book is like a debate that takes the token responses of theists and then a long and thorough rebuttal from Richard Dawkins. I already knew a lot of the arguments Dawkins goes over just by thinking about it on my own, which many are quite obvious yet need to be stated. The part of the book I found most interesting was how religion hurts societies, which no one really talks about. The arguments Dawkins bring up are very complete and if you're an atheist looking for some added tools in your arsenal of argumentation, this book is perfect for that too. All in all, the book is pretty long, somewhat dry at parts, and is not a quick read either. If you are open-minded and/or interested in the subject I would suggest this book. I don't think the book is going have the intended effect of converting many people to atheism, because believing in god involves preconceived faith not rational thinking imho, but is likely to make more atheists come out of the closet (for lack of a better metaphor) because of the comfort this book will bring to atheists.


5 stars Awesome arguments and intense analytical points on the delusional idealism of god and theism
Professor Dawkins compares and contrasts all theories and "proofs" of an existence of a higher being. Using the scientific perspective he voids all arguments pointed out by theists and creationists. Awesome book and I highly recommend it!


5 stars Eye opener
After reading The God delusion, a feeling of reasurance and vigor enters one self. Many of my thoughts were properly disected, analyzed and refrased so the path to understand them is clear now.
The book is easy to understand, funny where it would help the point the author is making and the writing is fresh, interesting, fast and it really makes you understand the point Mr. Dawkins is making.
It is so good, so logical and rational, that it will probably exarcerbate the religious fanatics and denounce with the usual hate his thoughts.
Buy this book...


5 stars good book
Even if you don't buy in to every argument Dawkins makes (and you probably shouldn't), I think it's an interesting read. Worthwhile.


5 stars No longer Agnostic
For many years I have dwelled snugly (smugly?) with the idea of being Agnostic. Dawkins had me convinced in the first 3 chapters that there actually IS evidence of the non-existance of a personal god. He inspired me to read further. I read the bible again, and it can't stand up against his arguments. How enlightening! I find it hard to believe that millions of people still believe in the old superstitions of fear, guilt and slavery, when there is so much scientific evidence to free them.
