Publisher's Summary
Militant atheism is on the rise. In recent years, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have produced a steady stream of best-selling books denigrating religious belief. These authors are merely the leading edge of a larger movement that includes much of the scientific community.
In response, mathematician David Berlinski, himself a secular Jew, delivers a biting defense of religious thought. The Devil’s Delusion is a brilliant, incisive, and funny book that explores the limits of science and the pretensions of those who insist it is the ultimate touchstone for understanding our world.

outstanding
David is a master of logic and language. If you're ever looking for a relatively short, entertaining read, The Devil's Delusion by David Berlinski is outstanding. He dismantles atheism with ease but what really makes it worthwhile is his mastery of language.

An unexpected pleasure!
Throughly enjoyed the satisfying nuances of Dr. Berllinski's arguments and insight. A great accompaniment to Dr.Stephen Meyer's Signature in the Cell.

Misleading and disappointing
While the author makes the occasional good and fair points in his book, he far more often resorts to cheap shots at individual views he disagrees with. If you are looking for something to affirm your beliefs in Intelligent Design this book is for you. If you are looking for a logical and accurate dismantling of science and athiest perspective then it is sadly lacking. As a skeptic I was truly hoping for a read that would reasonably challenge the leading theories of modern understanding. Instead what I got was regular assumptive reasoning, misrepresented information, and appeals to emotion and desire for reason. This book had potential, but failed to say anything of genuine significance.
