About This Book
Discover magazine recently called Richard Dawkins "Darwin's Rottweiler"
for his fierce and effective defense of evolution. Prospect magazine
voted him among the top three public intellectuals in the world (along
with Umberto Eco and Noam Chomsky). Now Dawkins turns his considerable
intellect on religion, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it
causes. He critiques 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. In so doing, he makes a compelling case that
belief in God is not just irrational, but potentially deadly. Dawkins
has fashioned an impassioned, rigorous rebuttal to religion, to be
embraced by anyone who sputters at the inconsistencies and cruelties
that riddle the Bible, bristles at the inanity of "intelligent design,"
or agonizes over fundamentalism in the Middle East or Middle America.
"At last, one of the best nonfiction writers alive today has
assembled his thoughts on religion into a characteristically elegant
book." --Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor, Harvard University, author
of The Language Instinct, How the Mind Works, and The Blank Slate
"A resounding trumpet blast for truth . . . It feels like coming up for
air." --Matt Ridley, author of Genome and Francis Crick
"Dawkins gives human sympathies and emotions their proper value,
which...lends his criticisms of religion such force." --Philip Pullman,
author of His Dark Materials trilogy
"This is a brave and important book." --Desmond Morris, author of The
Naked Ape and The Human Animal
"Richard Dawkins is the leading soothsayer of our time. . . . The God
Delusion continues his thought-provoking tradition." --J. Craig Venter,
decoder of the human genome
"The God Delusion is smart, compassionate, and true . . . If this book
doesn't change the world, we're all screwed." --Penn & Teller
"The world needs . . . passionate rationalists . . . Richard Dawkins so
stands out through the cutting intelligence of The God Delusion."
--James D. Watson, co-discoverer of DNA, author of The Double Helix
