There is no God

Quick chart from the Wall Street Journal showing that Richard Dawkins has sold half a million hardback copies of The God Delusion, and Hitchens may have made a million dollars from selling 300,000 copies of his book. Poor old Dennett is trailing in at 64,000 copies — probably because he is the only one to have approached the subject with anything like an open mind or any interest in other people’s opinions. If the New Atheist movement were actually about reasoned enquiry, and distrust of authority these proportions would be pretty much reversed.
