Last year Richard Dawkins, well-known Oxford biologist who demonstrated the 'selfish gene', published "The God Delusion."
A new paperback edition will hit the bookstalls, January, 2008.
A good New Year's gift, if a little late for Christmas giving.

Dawkins characterizes the biblical Yahweh as psychotic, and focuses attention on intelligent design, pointing out fallacies in the construct. He regards religion as a divisive and oppressive force.

Additional suggested reading:
Christopher Hitchens, 2007, "God is not great, how religion poisons everything." Sample quote:
"Religion is violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive towards children."
Like Richard Dawkins, he denounces the religious education of young people as child abuse.
Hitchins is a British journalist who frequently appears on American talk shows.
