it was amazing

It ends with an honest and moving call to arms not only to atheism, but really to the expanding of horizons that science can bring us (free us from "the mother of all burkas"). But before that, it is a scathing deconstruction of religious belief, specially focused on Christian faith, with some jabs at Islam from time to time. I understand why he chose these two, but I think the book would benefit from being a little more wider on its deconstruction of irrational beliefs.
