Filip Bártek’s Reviews > The God Delusion > Status Update

I agree with Dawkins' points but I deplore his insidious sloppiness in the exposure of the arguments, such as when he argues for why religion might be a by-product of natural predispositions, and stops at that, with an eyebrow raised for all his followers who need not ask the more interesting question of how likely religion actually is mere by-product, "the equivalent of the moth's light-compass reaction".

Dawkins rephrases ideas repeatedly so much it's quite annoying.

Dawkins' tone is irritatingly confrontational and sarcastic. While he claims the text to be intended namely for believers yet to be converted to atheism, he doesn't seem to do much to argue respectfully.

I like this definition of the concept of god and the fact that Dawkins decides to focus on this interpretation of the term.
