I never needed any convincing myself but I am really enjoying the interesting arguments he throws out, some very funny and some that I think even a highly devoted individual should at least consider, although that is probably the crux of the problem. Seems Adsense has a sense of humour too :) He does seem to stick to the monotheistic religions with what i’ve read so far, i’ve still got half to read.

I often find Richard Dawkins quite entertaining on this subject but in his TV series it did irritate me that he seemed to think that religion and Judeo-Christian-Islamic monotheism were one and the same thing. What about polytheistic and nontheistic religions? Some of the arguments he uses just don't apply to them. Makes him seem out of his depth sometimes, unsurprisingly, as it isn't his field. Much as creationists - sorry, Intelligent Designists - claim to have the backing of scientists because people with irrelevant PhDs support their silly idea.
