"At last, one of the best nonfiction writers alive today has
assembled his thoughts on religion into a characteristically
elegant book. If you think that science is just another religion,
that religion is about our higher values, or that scientists are
just as dogmatic as believers, then read this book and see if you
can counter Dawkins's arguments. They are passionately stated and
poetically expressed but are rooted in reason and evidence."

—Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor at Harvard University and
author of The Language Instinct, How the Mind Works, and The Blank
Slate

"Oh, it's so refreshing, after being told all your life that it is
virtuous to be full of faith, spirit, and superstition, to read
such a resounding trumpet blast for truth instead. It feels like
coming up for air."

—Matt Ridley, author of Genome and Francis Crick

----

A preeminent scientist—and the world's most prominent
atheist—asserts the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous
harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9/11.

With rigor and wit, Dawkins examines 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.

----

Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public
Understanding of Science at Oxford University. The New York Times
Book Review has hailed him as a writer who "understands the issues
so clearly that he forces his reader to understand them too." His
previous books include The Ancestor's Tale, The Selfish Game, and
The Blind Watchmaker.

----

The God Delusion is narrated by the author and Lalla Ward, who is
best known for her role on the popular Doctor Who series. She is
the wife of Richard Dawkins.
