I haven't read The God Delusion but I have seen the tv shows he did and I have discussed the book with my brother-in-law, who is far more knowledgable on matters religion than me.

Basically, my impression is that his goal is to show how stupid and immoral religion (primarily Christianity) is, by cherry picking Old and New Testament quotes out of context. This is especially ridiculous with regard to Judaism, where the bible is only ever filtered through 3000 of oral history and commentary.
