From Wikipedia:

God: The Failed Hypothesis is a 2007 New York Times bestseller^[1] by scientist Victor J. Stenger who argues that there is no evidence for the existence of Deity and that a God’s existence is improbable.

David Ludden of Skeptic (magazine) wrote “Stenger lays out the evidence from cosmology, particle physics and quantum mechanics showing that the universe appears exactly as it should if there is no creator.”^[2] Ludden concluded “All freethinkers should have both volumes [The God Delusion], side by side, on their bookshelves.” Damien Broderick wrote, “Stenger offers an answer to that deep question in his two new books, arguing a materialist, God-free account of the cosmos, equally antagonistic to superstition, the paranormal and religions archetypal and newfangled alike. He refuses to accept the polite accommodation urged by agnostic Stephen Jay Gould that science and religion can never be in conflict as they are non-overlapping ‘magisteria’.”^[3]
