I'd recommend you give it another try. I'm actually 3/4th through Homo Deus, while an acquaintance finished Sapiens and we talked about it. It seems there's some overlap between them. But i found a bunch of new ideas, some recycled ones. It's unlikely you'll find anything groundbreaking in there, but you might find a good logical explanation of things in a consistent and well articulated manner and touch on some things you kinda knew but never really though about.
Ofcourse there's a target audience of liberal, atheists. Since i think his simple dismissing of God, the orthodox religious people might find objectionable.
