Mr Richard Dawkins is all at once witty, entertaining and almost accurate in his writings.
I do not recommend him for those with strongly held beliefs, for they would be upset by his assertions (backed by evidence and facts and basic logic, or not) and may end up saddened, oppressed or depressed, as a result of indulging in Mr Dawkins’ writings.
Though some would find peace immediately, by concluding those writings are demonic and should be cast into the bottomless pit. Others may argue that it is scientific enough. Others yet will have doubts that only they can explain.

However, I do recommend his works to the truly curious, those who may be able to stomach views dissimilar to those congruent with their upbringing, lived experiences and associations. Those who daily wonder if there is a universal truth out there – perhaps embodied in religion, or in science or a yet-to-be-asserted or popularised third force. And as such, views each on its merit, make no judgements, learn as much as they can, broaden their world view and continue on a path to hurt no one or themselves.
Wondering where to start? Or which of his works perhaps captures the whole essence of Mr Dawkins’ life’s work? Perhaps his 2019 long essay may be an enjoyable, if informative read and starting point.
Hallelujah!
