I haven't read the God Delusion, but last year I read The History of God which was fascinating.

The writer, Karen Armstrong, examines the history and the scriptures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to trace the evolution of the concept of God.

It's basically in the tradition of the question "Did God create man, or did man create God?", but it's rich in nuance and broadens one's perspective of Islam. If the writer had an agenda, it was hard, IMO, to detect....and this is always my preference.

I'm reading the God Delusion right now :-)

When and if you feel comfortable doing so, how about popping in with some of your thoughts about it. It stays on my reading list, second tier, the books that will take a shove to get into readable range.
