TThe God Delusion caused a sensation when it was published. 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.

Richard Dawkins in one of the country’s most famous scientists. He is also one of our most outspoken critics of religion. In The God Delusion he presents his arguments for atheism.

While this book is unashamedly polemical, Dawkins adopts the rigourous approach of a scientist and applies it to the questions of religion, religous faith and the existence of God. Some of the issues he addresses include:

● A history of religious conflict.
● The impossibility of disproving the existence of God – something that has become a ‘get out of jail free’ argument for the inviolability of religion.
● Morality, where it becomes extra-religious; many moral changes and definition (e.g. women’s rights, black civil rights) have occured sometimes against the resistance of the religious community.
● The fact that in some countries religion remains an excuse for the subjugation of women’s rights.
● The fact that by forcing religious belief on our children we are denying them intellectual freedom.
● Denial of evolution which is an impediment to intellectual progress.
● Science fulfilling the same psychological needs as religion.
