And when I ask myself why Dawkins wrote such a book which can be compared with some soviet bellicose atheists' papers, I see the answer is clear. This book is a kind of popularization, it was written for a people and not for intellectuals. Here, as one can see, Dawkins hits the target. God Delusion was translated in many languages and have discussed world-wide. So I suppose, we need to be grateful to author's efforts. Even if we disagree with him, when he talks about religion as the root of all evils. In fact it was a good slogan too, but not a rational agrumentation. I was disappointed I found this to be quite dry. There were a few flashes of humor throughout. Overall not what I was expecting The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins (2006) Although not as eloquent and gripping as Christopher Hitchen’s similar-themed book, God Is Not Great, this book is nonetheless pretty fascinating in its own right. Author and Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins puts religion, notably fundamentalist Christianity and Islam, to the same rigorous scrutiny that a scientific theory would be subject to and he gleefully tears them apart, relegating religion to the realm of “nonsense.” Like Hitchens, he lays waste to the absurd ideas behind intelligent design, and points a damning finger at various ridiculous people who have made outlandish statements inspired by their religion.I found much of interest in this book and found it to be 90% captivating. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

One main thing I didn't like was that he's as much against the idea of god as others are for it, therefore, I felt the book was biased, though no more so than others that are on the other side.
All in all, worth reading. (
