"The God Delusion" caused a sensation when it was published in 2006. Within
weeks it became the most hotly debated topic, with Dawkins himself branded as
either saint or sinner for presenting his hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of
religion of all types. His argument could hardly be more topical. While Europe
is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism,
whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously
dividing opinion around the world. In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute
between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and
restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from
medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women's and gay
rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any
kind. Dawkins attacks God in all his forms. 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. "The God
Delusion" is a brilliantly argued, fascinating polemic that will be required
reading for anyone interested in this most emotional and important subject.
