Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion has more pseudoscience in it than a barrel full of monkeys.

Does the book have more pseudoscience than the KJV? 

You wanna read some real strange stuff, try The Book of Mormon.

his biology is good. on rejecting theism, dawkins repeatedly falls into the trap of explaining that god is unlikely because he doesnt appear to act in ways that dawkins would, were dawkins to be god.

In rejecting religion, he's too literal for me.
