Where do you rate on Dawkins scale?

[Tempus]

However, it sounds suspiciously like Dawkins knows fuckall about religion and psychology. (And yes, Dawkins uses the masculine pronoun in the book. I chose not to acquire Delusion on account of what seemed credible complaints about his scholarship. I'm hardly encouraged at this juncture.)

The God Delusion was useful for me as a starting point when I picked it up but I wouldn't recommend it now. The scale, like some other stuff in the book, is basically useless at best or downright confusing at worst (for laypeople anyway). I'd agree Dawkins probably knows little regarding religion, psychology or philosophy, as that initial chapter (as well as some subsequent ones), in my opinion, demonstrates. The rest of the book is mainly concerned with arguments you've likely already heard. It's not like there's nothing salvageable, it's just there's better resources out there.
