judging by the interview in this OP from last year: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1218130224

"I'd like to change the debate on religion, actually I'd like to finish off BOTH the New Atheist movement and the religious fundamentalists! I think by introducing a note of paradox both sets of absolutists can be vanquished. After all this is supposed to be the post-modern age. Certainty is so has been!

Who is the audience for this book? Christians? Atheists?

All of the above, especially people burnt out on both religion and the hubris of some atheists."

xkcd expressed an eternal truth there.
