What I like about McGinn is that he's a fine philosopher and many people are unaware of the many philosophical arguments against god, many of which have been around for thousands of years. Philosophy is the preferred escape route that the like of William Craig Lane and Dinesh D'Souza chose to scurry down when faced with arguments from science and history, and I think that McGinn would take them to the cleaners ( more so than Dennett) if they tried the same with him.
