His gibberish on memetics is mostly an apologetic footnote, trying to excuse his political socialist beliefs. His stuff on religion is being trashed by almost every single (serious) theologian. I've heard good things about The God Delusion and I intend to pick it up, but I'm definitely going to be reading it with an open mind.
Right now, I'm reading a lot about Global Warming and Canadian Arctic Sovereignty, ahhhh paper writing season.
I've been plugging through Guns, Germs and Steel as well.
