I began reading The God 
Delusion today. According to Richard Dawkins I am relusional. “Relusion” is a word suggested to Dawkins to replace the word “delusion” in the title of his book. Dawkins hopes the word relusion will catch on and be used to describe delusion when it is caused by religion.
Religious delusion = relusion. Got it? Henceforth I and my Christian readers shall refer to ourselves as such.
I’ll start a Google discussion group for this series of posts like I did for the series on Rob Bell’s book Velvet Elvis. That seemed to supplement the blog posts in that series quite nicely.
Welcome all readers, Christians and atheists and all points between and around.
‘Relusion’ – finally, something even more toe-curling than Dawkins suggesting that all we atheists refer to ourselves as ‘Brights’. Unfortunately I suspect your tongue was at least partly in cheek, and his was not…
If this book gets enough attention amongst the Christian community (which I dare say it is), then ‘relusion’ will catch on. Hopefully when this book is reprinted in the future Dawkins will consider changing the title to ‘The God Relusion’. It would be more accurate considering the general topic of the book.
