«The God Delusion» is Richard Dawkins's essay on atheism and the critique of religion, published by Bantam Press in paperback (416 pages, in English).
Dawkins argues that belief in God is irrational and harmful, and that religion has caused wars, intolerance and child abuse. He refutes theistic arguments, defends the improbable existence of a supreme being and presents atheism as a more lucid view of the universe.
Originally published on 13 March 2006. Winner of the 2007 British Book Award for Author of the Year.
For readers interested in atheism, the critique of religion and popular science.
Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist, zoologist, science communicator and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford. In 1995, he was named the first Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, a position he held until 2008, and is on the advisory board of the University of Austin. Dawkins has won several academic and writing awards, among them the 2005 Shakespeare Prize and the 2006 Lewis Thomas Prize. Presenting the latter, Paul Nurse said "In eloquent, evocative prose, Richard Dawkins conveys the certainty that, rather than diminishing the myriad beauties of the universe and extinguishing wonderment at its mysteries, science reveals truths that are yet more awe-inspiring than the mysteries they solve."
