Berlinski is a very confused American ID advocate (and self-proclaimed secularist) who's refutation of atheism lacks any real arguments. Berlinski's attack is directed at Dawkins, Harris, Dennett and Hitchens as well as other "militant atheists".

The main problem with the book is that Berlinski's disgust of militant atheism manifests in odd ways. If you want to write a critique of atheism then it should be written about the real issues facing atheists. When I quit the book I've been thinking that maybe Berlinski himself is an atheist but not a militaristic one.

In fact there are much more better books than this one on the same topic. For example Timothy Keller's "The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism", Alister E. and Joanna C. McGrath's "The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine" and Ravi K. Zacharias' "The End of Reason: A Response to the New Atheists". (show less)
