God is not great: how religion poisons everything - christopher hitchens

Hitchens takes on his biggest subject yet--the increasingly dangerous role of religion in the world.

With insight and wit, he describes the ways in which religion is man-made, immoral, and repressive and argues for a new enlightenment through science and reason.

(World Religions) Whether youre a lifelong believer, a devout atheist, or someone who remains uncertain about the role of religion in our lives, this insightful manifesto will engage you with its provocative ideas.

With a close and studied reading of the major religious texts, Christopher Hitchens documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos.

With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescopes awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.

In the tradition of Bertrand Russells Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harriss The End of Faith , Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion.
