In chapters four through six of "The God Delusion", Richard Dawkins shows the reader his mission is to support scientific education, critical thinking and evidence-based understanding of the natural world in the quest to overcome religious fundamentalism, superstition, intolerance and human suffering. He achieves this mean through his novel by exposing his readers the the reasonable doubt of a higher power. Logical based arguments and direct, factual quotes are the most common ways Dr. Dawkins supports his reasoning. Dawkins also speaks of the controversy of these religious debates and both sides to these arguments, though with bias towards the side of science. He emphasizes that scientific advancement is not possible with the current oppression of religion today as well as the historical danger against the scientific community.
