The God Delusion Richard Dawkins Bantam Press, 2006
The temptation with a rallying cry such as Dawkins's latest effort is to join the chorus of praise or boos, or note dismissively that it is a popular book not really worthy of academic attention. While we might imagine a theological journal taking a passing interest (along with passing pot shots) surely a social scientific journal need not pay attention to The God Delusion. But Dawkins quite strongly, if inadvertently, makes the case that science is a social, cultural and ideological phenomenon, which is, of course, interesting to social scientists.
