Publisher's Summary
Militant atheism is on the rise. In recent years, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have produced a steady stream of best-selling books denigrating religious belief. These authors are merely the leading edge of a larger movement that includes much of the scientific community.
In response, mathematician David Berlinski, himself a secular Jew, delivers a biting defense of religious thought. The Devil’s Delusion is a brilliant, incisive, and funny book that explores the limits of science and the pretensions of those who insist it is the ultimate touchstone for understanding our world.
Editorial reviews
Though the scientific community has done wonders for our society, in recent years scientist and popular science writers have had a ballooning antagonism toward religious thought. In The Devil's Delusion, mathematician David Berlinski sets out to examine the so-called "militant atheism" pushed by such voices as Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, and offer his own defense for religion. Veteran narrator, Dennis Holland's casual yet confident voice enhances the authority and humor of Berlinski's intelligently designed arguments. So, whether you are coming to this audiobook to reaffirm your stance on religion or you side with science and are looking for a smart, counter-argument, Berlinski's The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Delusion makes for a great listen.

Satisfying relevant worthy of multiple sessions of listening
David Berlinski’s treatment of the subject fulfills the book’s subtitle admirably. The language is superbly entertaining although the reader has distracted me slightly by some mispronunciations. This is a favorite audiobook in my Audible library that I will listen to and meditate on repeatedly for new insights as I’ve done for 30 plus years meditating and applying insights into revelations and nuances of Bibles.

Disappointed with my choice
I love philosophy and was looking forward to listening to this book because of good reviews and being suggested by Audible as similar to other books l loved before. It is rubbish. Empty arguments, name calling and complete lack of coherence and sound arguments. I only maned to get through 25% before I gave up.
