Chapter 1: Deeply Religious Non-Believer

Having read the chapter about 3 weeks back I am left with the bare impression of it in my memory. In skimming over it just now I've concluded this will have to suffice. It wasn't a chapter that brought out any of the best criticisms against Christian faith in God but more defined for the reader, as a good book should, what exactly we are talking about here.

What we are NOT talking about:
"God" in the sense that Einstein used the term to describe a sort of wonderment and fascination with beautiful and eloquent processes or objects found within our world and the cosmos as a whole.

What we ARE talking about:
"God" in the very direct sense. A supernatural, living entity that intelligently designed all of creation. The God referred to in the Old Testament (and new). The God of Abraham.

What else I remember:
(May or may not have been from chapter 1)
Richard Dawkins will never confess belief in God on his death bed. Ever.
