Transworld, Sep 22, 2009 - Religion - 496 pages

'Timely, impassioned and brilliantly argued' Rod Liddle, Sunday Times

'A spirited and exhilarating read' Joan Bakewell, Guardian

Dawkins attacks God in all his forms.

He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry and abuses children.

The God Delusion is a brilliantly argued, fascinating polemic that will be required reading for anyone interested in this most emotional and important subject.
