Dear Atheists
Aug. 2nd, 2009 05:06 pmIf you use Richard bloody Dawkins book The God delusion to support or illustrate anything you say i will not take you seriously.
It is a terrible book. He may be a great scientist but he knows nothing about history, sociology, anthropology, psychology or politics. He also has no idea how religious communities work or what they are for.
Oh and Christopher Hitchens God is not great isn't much better.
If you want a well written, well researched,well thought out book on the subject please read Breaking the Spell by Dan Dennet. It's an awesome book I loved it. Obviously I didn't agree with his conclusions but it's still a really good read
