How many have read it, and by what standard do you hold it?

Probably the most fascinating portion of Dawkin's book that I found was that Moderate religion is far more dangerous that Extremist religion. Why? Religious moderates make the world safe for fundamentalists, by promoting faith as a virtue and by enforcing an overly pious respect for religion.

Its a fascinating view to see the religious indoctrination of children as a form of child abuse. Children should not be labeled by their parents' religion. Terms like "Catholic child" or "Muslim child" should make people flinch. Odd though it may seem for a child to already have such a firm and understanding grip of ideal on the universe and whats around them.

To define as such, the God hypothesis, Yahweh (Elohim or God if you prefer) of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction. Jealous and proud of it, a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak, a vindictive bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser, a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
