In terms of the [[theism]] vs. [[agnosticism]]/[[atheism]] issue, Dawkins has shown himself to be rather ignorant in matters of [[philosophy]] and [[theology]]. For example, atheist philosopher Dr. [[Michael Ruse]] declared concerning Dawkins' book ''The God Delusion'': "''The God Delusion'' makes me embarrassed to be an atheist."<ref>http://www.alternet.org/media/47052?page=entire</ref> See also: [[Errors of Richard Dawkins]]

In 2010, it was reported that ''The God Delusion'' sold 2,086,402 copies and 907,161 of those copies were sold in [[North America]]. Contrastly, in 2010, the evangelical Christian [[Rick Warren]] sold between 25,000,000 to 50,000,000 copies of his book ''The Purpose Driven Life''.<ref>
Dawkins' main objectives are to convince his readers that the existence of [[God]] or any other [[deity]] is highly unlikely, that the Bible is incoherent, that [[morality]] does not come from [[religion]], and that if religion does effect morality, it only does so negatively.
