The God Delusion

Dawkins comes across as the stereotypical “angry atheist” here. And his lack of philosophical and theological education is glaring. He tends to dismiss theological points without considering them carefully, showing that he doesn't even understand them. Instead of engaging the points of an argument, Dawkins makes sarcastic comments about how “obviously” absurd the conclusion is.

And Dawkins doesn't understand them because he probably hasn't read the actual writers he criticizes. Instead, he argues with other people's summaries of the argument, which makes his job easier. For example, Dawkins seems to ignore the arguments that have been made by Aquinas and others to move from “there is a First Cause” to “There is a cause of the world that is omnipotent, omniscient, etc.”
