My diatribe against “skeptics” (2016)
The thing that turned me off against Dawkins&#x27; book, which I thought I would love, was that it just read as &lt;em&gt;mean&lt;&#x2F;em&gt; to me. It&#x27;s been ages since I read it so I can&#x27;t summon specific quotes, but here I was reading a book where I agreed with the premise but just found it to be mean-spirited.<p>I&#x27;m in the atheist camp, and I&#x27;ve certainly got my thoughts about religion dominating culture, but I agree with Horgan here: Dawkins isn&#x27;t going to convince anybody (or at least not very many...) that don&#x27;t already agree. That&#x27;s not particularly useful.
