If I was to write a book on atheism, I would have wrote this exact same book. It’s a good thing for the athiest movement that Dawkins himself wrote it and I didn’t. The book doesn’t bring up new groundbreaking ideas. It reinforces old ones.
This book really changed my point of view on moderate religion. It was previously my opinion that moderate religios faith was not that big of a problem in this world. Dawkins clearly shows how even moderate faith creates the environment in which some people are going to take the word of religion seriously and become extremists. If there aren’t any moderates then there wouldn’t be any extremists.
‘The god Delusion’ is an excellent read, that I highly recommend to anyone.
