She views the reliance on those words as self-delusion, a soothing, self-administered palliative whose effect is to mask evidence that violence is the largely natural extension of fundamentalist values sternly dictated and widely embraced in Muslim communities - values that encourage harsh treatment of women and strict, even brutal, punishment of non-believers.

In his seminal book The Selfish Gene , Dawkins explained our replicating genes as the driving force of evolution. (fourminutebooks.com)
First of all, I think that when reading the book, it's clear what Dawkins is an expert on and what he's not. (sheseeksnonfiction.blog)
I think that Dawkins' topics toward the beginning of the book are more up his alley, dealing with things like the anthropic principle and how evolution allows for the diversity of life that we see. (sheseeksnonfiction.blog)
Towards the end of The God Delusion , there are many times that Dawkins discusses how religion has caused death and destruction for homosexuals and others as well as abuse of children in its indoctrinating tendencies. (sheseeksnonfiction.blog)
My greatest criticism of this book is that I don't think Dawkins achieves his ultimate goal. (sheseeksnonfiction.blog)
Of course, one of the most obvious examples of this is the title of the book, which implies that belief in God is a delusion, but throughout the book, Dawkins shows religion as being evil and completely unfounded, which wouldn't make me want to jump out of my seat and join his side of the God debate. (sheseeksnonfiction.blog)
Of course I agree that atheism is correct, but if I had been reading as a theist, I don't know if this book would have convinced me. (sheseeksnonfiction.blog)
