    Yes, I do consider myself an atheist. I have a copy of the book and I have read it several times over.

    I have not seen the documentary (do you have a like pointing to it?).

    Its interesting because Richard Dawkins in one of the faces of the atheist movement. Im a regular reader of PZ Myers blog pharyngula and I see links from the religious right attacking Dawkins. I got his book and it seemed like that things I thought about with regards to religion was suddenly given a voice.

    Dili ko wholly agree sa methods ni Dawkins, hardline athiest ra kaau siya, but his ideas on religion and its role in society are things I agree with wholeheartedly.

    I have read that book The GOD Delusion and have you read the anti thesis book " The Dawkins Delusion?"

    The Dawkins Delusion?, subtitled Atheist fundamentalism and the denial of the divine is a book by Christian theologian Alister McGrath and psychologist Joanna Collicutt McGrath, written as a critical response from a Christian perspective to Richard Dawkins' book The God Delusion.

Joanna Collicutt McGrath is his spouse and a deacon at Oxford[1] with background in experimental psychology and Christian theology, specializing in biblical studies. Currently a lecturer in the psychology of religion at Heythrop College, University of London, she has made a particular contribution to the sections on biblical studies, and the relationship of religion with psychology and the neurosciences.
