Description

Richard Dawkins, a leading evolutionary biologist and author of many now-classic works of science and philosophy, has always unequivocally stated that belief in God is a madness that has caused many social ills.

In this book, he offers a fierce critique of the idea of God in all its forms, from the sexually obsessed, callous tyrant of the Old Testament to the milder, yet equally irrational, Heavenly Watchmaker preferred by some Enlightenment thinkers.

He debunks the main arguments in favor of religion and demonstrates that the existence of a higher being is an utterly improbable possibility.

He describes how religion fuels war, fosters intolerance, and harms the mind and soul of children.

    Extremely well-written and detailed book that proves with evidence that there is no proof of the existence of God. I highly recommend it

    One of the most enjoyable books of popular science. Full of arguments, scientific and religious references that you want to google. Informative and humorous. Masterpiece.

    An excellent book (by Richard Dawkins) with hundreds of references and scientific evidence, which tries to prove in a simple and understandable way the non-existence of God or at least that there is no evidence for His existence. However, in some parts, especially in the chapter on "memes," it becomes somewhat tedious as it becomes too extensive. Other than that, I consider the book to be very good.
    Dawkins' writing style is quite intelligent.
