I've not read it, but RRS did a big piece on it.

haven't read it but i heard some stuff about it. i read a little in regards to it and all i can say is that the guy really hates atheists and basically he is generalizing, like in this paragraph, "This is not to say there are no atheists who are rational, that there are none who are true to their godless convictions. Friedrich Nietzsche is the foremost example, but there are certainly others who do not fear to determine their own moral compass. Today, we call them sociopaths and suicides." I found this at http://atheism.about.com/b/2003/11/18/the-irrational-atheist.htm if any of you would like to read more.

Daniel, what is RRS? I'd like to have a look at that piece.

Thanks for the link Oscar. I got the book of the web but haven't progressed very far. Something which struck me is that he dismissed Karl Popper's principle of falsifiability as useless, but he does not list either Popper's Conjectures or Refutations (which is Popper's lengthy explanation of the principle of falsifiability) or The Logic of Scientific Discovery. I'm curious about what he used to get his information about Falsifiability from. I'm thinking strawman argument.
