About this listen
He critiques 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. In so doing, he makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just irrational, but potentially deadly.
Dawkins has fashioned an impassioned, rigorous rebuttal to religion, to be embraced by anyone who sputters at the inconsistencies and cruelties that riddle the Bible, bristles at the inanity of "intelligent design", or agonizes over fundamentalism in the Middle East or Middle America.

Thought Provoking Book
If there is a single shred of doubt in your mind that religion isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, Dawkins can explain that doubt to you.

A must read
It’s my second book I’m listening from professor Dawkings, it’s very interesting from the beginning to the end, well put together and very interesting stories told by professors experience. I was religious person but I’m glad that my eyes are open now and I can see everything not like I used to.
Make sure you have a friend or someone that you can talk to after you Read/listen to this book because it’s hard to just let it go.

Very informative book. Quite a bit of science.
Lots of science in the beginning but great logic in the last few chapters. Very convincing.

The Best!
I recently became an atheist and this book has helped me escape the religious worldview.

Rational and objective
For me, it objectively provided many rational arguments that justify and reinforce an atheist world view.

Loved the content, but reading was a tad disjointe
Dawkins did a great job here! His many ways of explaining the very low probability of there being a God was spot on. However, I do not believe it will sway the religious, since he uses science to back up his arguments instead of speaking their own language. I still say it's a must-read.
Only downside to this audiobook is the constant back and forth between the two narrators. It takes a while to get used to and can be jarring initially.

Great, objective listen
I loved this entire book and could not stop listening. Dawkins critiques and analyses the bizarre logic of religion very forensically and in a way that is easy to digest and understand.

The beauty in understanding
An amazing book making a beautifully written point for science, logic, sanity and the natural world for which you developed a deeper understanding as further you get into the book, to the point that you don’t need god sensed miracles anymore because you appreciate the miracles of the real world all around you so much more.
