Richard Dawkins, a renowned biologist and a leading voice in the New Atheist movement, delivers a pointed critique of religion in his influential 2006 work, ‘The God Delusion’. He argues that religious beliefs are devoid of empirical support and can have detrimental effects on morality and society at large. This analysis seeks to explore Dawkins' criticisms across three critical realms: epistemology, ethics and societal impact. By examining pertinent literature and juxtaposing Dawkins’ views with insights from various experts, this piece aims to enrich the ongoing dialogue between atheism and religious belief.
