I have read this book. If you read it with an open mind, he makes some great points. If your a theist, don't use the excuse that "he's an atheist, so I don't want to read it". I think everyone should read it just like the Bible, then make your decisions.

He makes really good arguments and covers a lot. He goes in to the History of the Bible, debunking biblical myths, explaining origins of religions and a lot of other controversial things. He also covers non-religious things like how our mind works, how we behave as humans, and talks a little about supernatural stuff etc...

To put it lightly, you have to be decently smart to understand it, it helps to have a high interest in science or psychology, or the entire book will be boring. I personally favor the chapter on irreducible complexity.
