520	1		_a"Is God a Delusion? addresses the philosophical underpinnings of the recent proliferation of popular books attacking religious beliefs. The book focuses primarily on charges leveled by recent critics that belief in God is irrational and that its nature ferments violence. It balances philosophical rigor and scholarly care with an engaging, accessible style, and offers a direct response to the crop of recent anti-religion bestsellers currently generating considerable public discussion."--BOOK JACKET.
