Surely this book is one of the best ever in helping to do away with the wild misguided nonsense which prevails throughout most religions. I have been an atheist for 70 years and I did not have a book such as this to convince me that there is no God. The Bible can be totally derided and regarded solely as what it really is, a misguided and utterly absurd collection of wildly exaggerated stories which have been written by imaginative scribes of long ago. Surely no credence can be given to any of the contents of the Bible. People who read the 'God Delusion' surely must be convinced by the compelling content - if not then they have been misled to the point where delusion rules their beliefs.

Whilst it does make many valid points it is extremely heavy going, it is certainly not a light read. It goes very deep on the subject.

The world needs to grow up, God is a nice idea like Father Christmas, however some people are unable to understand the facts, this book will educate them. Also great for answering the door to the Jehovah's and then quoting articles from it. This review is NOT from Angela it's from her husband James. I did feel though that some points may not have been covered fully, if religion helps, comforts and does no harm to those individuals then is it really wrong, even though deep down we know it's just a nice story.

I'm about half way through - I'm a 'committed' Atheist and didn't bother with this book when it first came out (although I have read and thoroughly enjoyed some other of Dawkins' books) because I didn't think it would tell me anything I didn't already know. However, here I am half way through and I find it compelling ... but what I didn't expect is that it would be so funny! In his other books, say 'Ancestors' Tale', I did get a bit fed up with the digs at creationists every other page but in this book the digs come thick and fast and almost unbelievable in some cases - and they're in the right book! I have read some of the reviews of the book when it first came out - a lot of the criticism is rebuffed with excellent logic in the preface. It seems that it also appeals to religious people - the chap who recommended I readit is a 'committed' Christian. On with the second half then ...Read full review

EVERYBODY should read this book... absolutely everybody; regardless of your 'faith', or 'belief', or 'non-belief' - one thing that everybody has within themselves is (or should be) common sense; reason, and belief in EVIDENCE. Richard Dawkins doesn't 'shove it down your throat, he just sets the evidence in front of you and then leaves you to make your own mind up. I'm 48 years old and after almost half a century I can't barely describe the total enlightenment that this book has provided me with...I always knew that something was wrong, and now I realise exactly what it is... RELIGION - the most dangerous 'belief' in a 'belief' that mankind has ever known. Science Rules OK ! Religion Sucks ! I'm going to read this book again; immediately, and then read the rest of the wisdom that Mr Dawkins has to offer. I will also re-visit the Bible to really get a grip of the 'horrors' within it... (It's not just the Bible it's every other religious 'Rule Book' that has ever been written - sack them all !) Thanks Mr Dawkins for your wisdom.Read full review
