THE GOD DELUSION RICHARD DAWKINS
THE GOD DELUSION RICHARD DAWKINS
The God Delusion is a 2006 bestselling non-fiction book by English biologist Richard Dawkins, professorial fellow of New College, Oxford, and former holder of the Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford.
In The God Delusion, Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that belief in a personal god qualifies as a delusion, which he defines as a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidence. He is sympathetic to Robert Pirsigs statement in Lila that "when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion".
As of January 2010, the English version of The God Delusion had sold over 2 million copies. It was ranked No.2 on the amazon,com bestsellers list in November 2006. In early December 2006, it reached No.4 in the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction Best Seller list after nine weeks on the list. It remained on the list for 51 weeks until 30 September 2007. The German version, entitled Der Gotteswahn, had sold over 260,000 copies as of 28 January 2010.
The book has attracted widespread commentary, with many books written in response.
