No sitting on the fence with a title like that and Dawkins 'does what he says on the tin', by addressing the claims of religion and dispatching them one by one. Which is fine but I suspect most readers at the very least treat religion as a cultural comfort blanket and this book eventually comes across as a touch of Supper-Nanny 'tough love'. Next he'll have a go at Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy . . .
