• Abstract Richard Dawkins, in his The God Delusion , argued strongly for atheism. Alister McGrath picked up the challenge and argued that Dawkins is wrong and that his arguments are very weak. This article, part of a symposium honoring McGrath looks in detail at the God Delusion, and at two books by McGrath, Dawkins’ God , written before T he God Delusion appeared but addressing the arguments of that book, and The Dawkins’ Delusion , co‐authored with his wife Joanna Collicutt McGrath that appeared after T he God Delusion . It is argued that the debate is still timely and that sociological factors are extremely important.
