Amazon reports that in the last three years sales in the 'religion' category – whether the books argue for or against religion – have climbed by 50 per cent. The increase outstrips growth in all other categories. Anti-religious titles The God Delusion and God is Not Great were the top sellers, leaving Pope Benedict’s Jesus of Nazareth to uphold faith in third position. The Dawkins Delusion, Alister McGrath’s counter-blast to The God Delusion, has also done well.

So people are thinking and reading about these things. That should encourage us in our prayers for the next Alpha course.
