Richard's Dawkins' "The God Delusion"

[Bathsheba]

I agree that using the word "Delusion" in the title seems quite contemptuous/condescending... I don't think anyone responds to being called "deluded" very well. In that way he does himself (I probably should say ideas) a disservice. I am always skeptical of people who hope to change anothers ideas by putting down the opposing ideas using contempt. Negative emotion should be kept out of a good debate as far as possible... well, I think so. Maybe he should have focused on putting a more positive slant on his ideas... something that reflects the feelings Rory has experienced perhaps: maybe "The Freedom of Secularity" or something like that (LOL is secularity a word??? My word checker doesn't seem to recognise it.)
