Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion

Whilst I do not believe in God by any means and would certainly describe myself as an Atheist, my biggest issue with ‘The God Delusion’ is what Richard Dawkins would describe as his ‘Devout Atheism’. The fervour and passion he writes with is almost on a par with that of a religion devotees and thus at times is equally as awkward to digest. Perhaps it could also be due to a conditioning of our modern world he describes, in that we feel awkward discussing religious topics in public, in case we offend someone around us, even when reading the book I found myself occasionally hiding the title in front of possible ‘religious types’ in case I offended them. The book is generally easy to read and full of intriguing, interesting and thought provoking topics and nuggets of information only occasionally wandering into intellectual territory that may be lost on some readers.
