{"product_id":"the-god-delusion-richard-dawkins-9780618680009","title":"The God Delusion","description":"A preeminent scientist--and the world's most prominent atheist--asserts the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9\/11. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With rigor and wit, Dawkins examines God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. 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, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universe's wonders than any faith could ever muster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Dawkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0618680004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618680009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.29w x 1.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2006 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 764\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/21\/2006 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/20\/2006 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2006 pg. 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/22\/2006 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/11\/2007 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLJ Best Sci-Tech Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2007 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2007 pg. 21","brand":"Richard Dawkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44050410864895,"sku":"9780618680009","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6990cbeb-ccc0-4ea4-9b58-afe8518976fd.jpg?v=1685007077","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-god-delusion-richard-dawkins-9780618680009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
