There is even an outstanding quote in it from Doug Adams as well as several fun ones from Einstein and his detractors. The people who are railing against it as some devil-spawned heresy have obviously never read beyond the title. Thanks again msmith. I owe you one.

In addition to 'God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins, I would also recommend the following not-so-topic-neutral books.
- God is not great / Christopher Hitchens
- End of Faith / Sam Harris
- Breaking the Spell / Daniel Dennett
All books are well-written and each book offers somewhat different standpoint maybe due to author's training. I would also appreciate if someone recommends related books.
