What the God Delusion Means To Me

I read an atheistic book and it almost validated my life - My desires, feelings, ambitions and dreams; It was as if a person was actually speaking to me, As I entered into his world of god theory. The author painted for me the right picture, The scene I was born into of religion and stricture, Such that after I read it I could handle my life, And more comfortably cope with long-term strife. The God Delusion is by Richard Dawkins 2006.
