Thanks Froide. I think your suggestion is excellent. I like the simplicity of crich's suggestion, but the whole first half of my book is the 101 things wrong with organized religion. To just say the title is "Why God Is Still Great" and then have people read the 101 things wrong would be throwing them.

Your suggestion allows me to accurately represent the book and lead with the positive part of the title. And as ATDrake said about the colon sort of severing the subtitle, I think it would be important to keep the subtitle (of the way you have the title) connected to the title and the parentheses allow me to do that. And I like your turning 'things wrong' into 'critiques.' It softens the negative aspect of 'things wrong' and adds gravitas to the title.

Brilliant suggestion. I may go with it verbatim. Thanks very much!
