Atheist in the house. Never read up any books on atheism as I’m pretty solid in my beliefs. Ironically I enjoy reading books on the history of religion, kind of like from a mythological point of view.

Athiest here. I like to read about religion as well. Even if u are dolid I would still recommend the book to you. Of course if u like to read such books

Ann

I am not an athiest..but read everything..haven’t read this one yet,though.

Unlike most of the books on atheism who take on the topic from philosophical point of view this one is takes on the subject with the scientific method. You might love it.

Penny

Atheist here too. It’s on my bookshelf, where it’s been for some time. Still unread. ?

*raises hand* I’m in the house.

Secular Humanist here. Haven’t read the book. lol

Diana

I have read it. I love it.

Atheist here but I refuse to read Dawkins because I’m also a feminist :p

Would you mind clarifying? I don’t mean to dispute your reasons here, it’s just I’m not aware of what he’s said or done that might be of an antifeminist bent. Not to say it hasn’t happened, just that I must have missed it and this seems like as good an opportunity as any to make myself more aware 🙂

Ceara

Not at all. You can read up on some of the controversies on his Wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_Richard_Dawkins#Feminism_and_women's_rights

I really don’t like his boorish behaviour, especially not victim blaming. The atheist and skeptic community has problematic culture generally when it comes to women and i can give a number of examples

Daniyal

I’m an atheist but haven’t read it. It is on my list

Brendan

I read it when it was first published. It still sits on my bookshelf. Maybe it’s time to reread it.
