I'm half way done reading this fantastic book. Jerry Coyne totally kills religious stupidity. The god-soaked should read it even though they will never be able to understand it. Religion is a disease and usually there is no cure. The brain damage can't be fixed.
Jerry Coyne's Why Evolution Is True was a masterpiece as is Faith vs. Fact. These two books are priceless. Why Evolution Is True is the best book about the evidence ever written for non-scientists. Faith vs. Fact is the best book ever written for why the god-soaked are always wrong about everything.
Religions are destroying lives and this planet. The childish Magic Man fantasy and all the other ridiculous supernatural fantasies need to be eradicated. This book by the brilliant University of Chicago biologist is a good start.

Someone else wrote a much better review:
Dr. Coyne has produced a detailed and comprehensive refutation of all the most frequently encountered arguments used by theists to bolser the patently false idea that faith has value and is in any way A Good Thing. Faith is in fact, nothing more than wallowing in the "ignorance is bliss" misleading aphorism. This book should be a preamble to every science course from middle school to University. Faith is not "another way of knowing". It is a lazy way to give up on the sometimes arduous task of knowing as much as possible about the universe in which we briefly exist. Faith stands directly in the way of our efforts to make the most of this life.
