No, I quite like Dawkins for his usual tongue in cheek attitude. He's the one exemption to my general skepticism towards the prominent atheists of our time. Yet his is just another opinion. I know why god is a delusion, so I'm not really interested in his book, if you get my point. I watched many of his lectures, speeches and discussions though.
I think that just "knowing" ( I am using that term loosely) that god is a delusion, doesn't merit not reading the book, because it delves into a plethora of subjects, to which the "God Delusion" happens to be at the center of.
