The God Delusion Dawkins, Richard Publisher:  Houghton Mifflin, New York, USA Year Published:  2006   Pages:  406pp   Price:  $35.95   ISBN:  978-0-618-68000-9 Library of Congress Number:  BL2775.3.D39 2006   Dewey:  211'.8--dc22 Resource Type:  Book Dawkins' basic argument is that the collective irrational belief in "The God Hypothesis" is not only wrong ("intellectual high treason"), but pernicious. Abstract:  "As a scientist," Richard Dawkins writes, "I am hostile to fundamentalist religion because it actively debauches the scientific enterprise. It teaches us not to change our minds, and not to want to know exciting things that are available to be known. It subverts science and saps the intellect". Dawkins' basic argument is that the collective irrational belief in "The God Hypothesis" is not only wrong ("intellectual high treason"), but pernicious in its resulting intolerance, oppression, bigotry, arrogance, child abuse, homophobia, abortion-clinic bombings, cruelties to women, war, suicide bombers, and educational systems that teach ignorance when it comes to math and science. Topics Atheism Freedom from Religion Religion Religious Criticism Religious Fundamentalism Science Skepticism
