The Dawkins Delusion? Atheist Fundamentalism And The Denial Of The Divine by Joanna Collicutt Mcgrath, Alister E. McGrath

5.0

I couldn't let this book out of my hands and read it at one sitting. I didn't even bother to leave a review for The God Delusion (besides three stars which could be dropped to two after reading this response) because there are plenty of criticism already available by both sides (using Dawkins' dichotomy). Reading it was occasionally like reading Trump's tweets - demeaning, belittling and not respecting other views - not something to expect from a scientist with a remarkable career. Happily I noticed that McGrath didn't response in the same tone. The book is relatively short and it deals with the main arguments. As a layman (who has read a while on the subject) I had questioned many of the same arguments McGrath had. To mention one and relatively significant - Dawkins' great mix-up of (undefined terms of) belief and religion and his arduous attempt to avoid fitting his own views in either. This is not a book of theology nor is it a defense of a certain belief system - it's a statement to correct or at least to smoothen Dawkins' erroneous black&white claims.
