Richard Dawkins is not the first public figure to come out as an atheist nor is he undertaking a terrible risk by doing so: he doesn't aspire to public office, he's not selling concert tickets in the Bible Belt, and the jihadists won't be stalking him as he walks down the streets of Amsterdam. Nevertheless, there is something admirable about a man who challenges the absurdity of religion without bowing to unnecessary philosophical discourse. Dawkins confronts religion on scientific and ethical grounds, and while his arguments on the former likely won't convert many believers (who believe that religion rests outside the realm of science), his portray of religion as a driving force for inhumanity in the world should affect the objective reader. I suggest fellow atheists and questioning individuals read this book as it will give you a good overview of the arguments against religion.
