Line 8: − − ==Chapters== − − === Deeply Religious Non-Believer=== − Dawkins attempts to establish [[Albert Einstein]] as an avowed atheist, and to prove that religion is unworthy of any respect. − − ===The God Hypothesis=== − Dawkins explains the different kinds of religion, including the divide between [[Monotheism]] and [[Polytheism]]. He also asserts viciously that the founding fathers of the [[United States of America]] were nonreligious. He continues to explain [[Secularism]], [[Agnosticism]], and some basic assertions of the religious. − − ===Arguments for God's Existence=== − Dawkins summarizes some common [[proof]]s for God and attempts to debunk them. − − ===Why There Almost Certainly is No God=== − Dawkins gives his reasons for believing that God is about as likely as "[[fairy|fairies]] living under his garden", and asks the fallacious question of where God came from. − − ===The Roots of Religion=== − Dawkins gives and explains some thoughts about the origins of religion that have been proposed by atheists, trying to undermine the [[Christianity|church]]. − − ===The Roots of Morality: Why are We Good?=== − Dawkins explains why he believes that morality "evolved" from [[animal]]s. − − ===The 'Good' Book and the Changing [[Moral Zeitgeist]]=== − Dawkins suggests that morality does not come from religion, but rather a changing moral ''Zeitgeist''. − − ===What's Wrong With Religion? Why Be So Hostile?=== − Dawkins shows why he believes that religion is [[evil]] and repressive, and must be stopped. − − ===Childhood, Abuse and the Escape from Religion=== − Dawkins explains why he believes that religion is a form of "[[child abuse]]", and that the scars from the "indoctrination" last into [[adult]]hood and even the child's entire life. − − ===A Much Needed Gap?=== − Dawkins concludes his book on a more positive level, giving inspiration to those whom he may have convinced to "de-convert" from their religion.

Dawkins also intends to teach that atheists can live happy, intelligent, lives—perhaps even happier lives than religious people. He asserts that atheists do not do evil things in the name of [[atheism]], while [[religion|religious]] people have been known to commit atrocities in the name of their religion.
