Damn, I am glad knowing that there is another sajhaite interested in M. Shermer. I love Dawkins, after all his the Darwin of our age. Did you read "Why Darwin Matters"? 

Also @patan, if you are interested to dig in deeper, you can check out Nietzsche's "The Antichrist". This is one of the most influencing book I've ever read. I was an atheist growing up but after reading this books (look specifically for the Christian conception of God), I actually started to appreciate Hinduism althought I scoffed at it growing up. I also went on from being a hardcore athiest to agnostic. It actually describes about the psychological aspect of religion. It is a difficult book to finish but you'll love it if you do. Good luck if you decide to read.......... 

Also my fav book by Dawkins is "The Selfish Gene". It is interesting though because the end conclusion is that we are just an embodiment of genes and the only purpose of our life is to seek attractive female and fornicate to spread our individual genes, and vice versa if you happen to be a female. It is very entertaining though.............
