Had a big impact on me too,when I read it in 1971.

"The God Delusion" and "God Is Not Great "are both polemics ;the authors lifted their main arguments from Russell

I don't know about this lifting argument business, the main arguments could be formed by a ten year old.
So many gods, how do you know yours is real?
Religions look like ancient human creations, all these father figures.
The world is complicated so you explain it by introducing an inconceivably complex being, where'd he come from?
You're god is a bastard isn't he, if he exists at all I don't want to know him.
How come you Theists don't welcome an early death, and an early entry to heaven?
How come you do all this bad shit, don't you know he's watching?
I don't know why we have to argue the validity of evolution, anyone you have to argue it with isn't worth talking to.
I don't want to die, you tell me I don't have to, always doubt those promising what you want.
Humans can't be trusted, besides a few members of the parrot family only humans have talked to me, god shouldn't expect me to trust humans because they are untrustworthy.
God does too much delegating, he should deliver his message to me personally, lazy bastard. Has anyone done this one yet, if not I will call it "A Denouncement Of God The Lazy Bastard." by TM Pudding.

I think most of these thoughts were first formed by Glug the caveman, but hardly anyone ever credits him.
