Outgrowing God: A Beginner's Guide by Richard Dawkins

informative medium-paced

3.0

The first half was interesting, mostly a history of the bible which was what I wanted, but rather specific to readers raised Christian, and I would’ve been interested in learning about the other holy scriptures too. I liked the debates around morality. And though he was sometimes harsh about religions and at one point implied Buddhism was theistic, he was much more gentle than Sam Harris had been in Waking Up. I think this book could’ve been longer and more broad.

The second half was okay, very basic when you have an evolutionary science background (or probably have read any of his other books?) but I see why.
