God, I should just stop reading this and move on to something that hasn't been written for and by terrible people, shouldn't I.
Sounds like it! I do think there's value in reading things by people with totally different views to yourself, even if they're bigoted, if only to better understand how to counter that sort of thinking. However, knowing nothing about this particular author other than what you've just written, it sounds like a waste of time.

I know right
I feel actively angry every time I pick it up. She says in one chapter that most gay people are really bisexual! I'm coming up to the chapter on religion that she's been saving up to the end. It's going to be balls-to-the-wall bigotry, no doubt.
She wrote a long, wounded blog post on Dawkins' website complaining about how when she gave a lecture about religion, some Muslim blokes quietly got up and left when she put up a slide mocking Muslims. Coz, you know, they were censoring her freeze peach by leaving, because that's what fundamentalists do.
