The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins
Chapter 5: The Roots of Religion
From the preface: "Perhaps you think there must be a god or gods because anthropologists and historians report that believers dominate every human culture. If you find that convincing, please refer to Chapter 5, on 'The roots of religion', which explains why belief is so ubiquitous."

The God Delusion, Week 4
The God Delusion, by Richard Dawkins
Chapter 4: Why There Almost Certainly Is No God
From the preface: "Maybe you think it is obvious that God must exist, for how else could the world have come into being? How else could there be life, in all its rich diversity, with every species looking uncannily as though it had been 'designed'? If your thoughts run along these lines, I hope you will gain enlightenment from Chapter 4 on 'Why there almost certainly is no God.' Far from pointing to a designer, the illusion of design in the living world is explained with far greater economy and with devastating elegance by Darwinian natural selection."
