About this listen
Despite the potential sensitivity of the topic, Richard Dawkins unashamedly applies his characteristically blunt approach to The God Delusion. His decision to narrate this audiobook himself only serves to make it all the more exhilarating an experience.

Richard Dawkins is considered to be one of the world's top intellectuals. As the author of many classic works on science and philosophy, he has always asserted the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm it has inflicted on society. He now focuses his fierce intellect exclusively on this subject, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it causes.
While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between "intelligent design" and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights, such as those of women and gay people - and all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind.
Dawkins attacks God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed, cruel tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign, but still illogical, Celestial Watchmaker favoured by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the ultimate improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry and abuses children. In The God Delusion, Dawkins presents a hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of religion of all types and does so in the lucid, witty and powerful language for which he is renowned.

I wasn’t an audiobook person, but decided to give it a try during my commute to and from work. And this was my second Audiobook.
The book delves into various arguments put forward by religious believers, and goes on to provide thought provoking counter arguments.This is a handbook on how to be an atheist. A proud one. Dawkins goes on to throw facts and logical reasoning against most of the beliefs that are religiously prevalent. Again, he doesn’t claim to be THE right one with all the arguments put forward. Except, they are logical and if you have an open mind ready to listen to reasoning are encouraged to think and question your very own religious foundations that you grew up on. He speaks a lot about Darwin and his theory of evolution and the Anthropic Principle.
Me, who personally don’t believe in the existence of God, this book was a definite food for thought.
It is an absolute must read/listen for everyone no matter your religious inclination.

I would have loved dissection into asian religion as well.
Any books on those?
Love the dissection but
