"Fascinating critique of religion gobally"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Hitchens explains with great clarity and wit why he regards all religions as not just false, but actually harmful to human society. He covers many of the most common arguments for religion (incuding arguments from design and the claim that religious people are somehow more virtuous than the non-religious) and thoroughly destroys them, using his own personal experience as well as examples from history and the world today. A worthwhile read for anyone interested in the topic of religion, its history and evolution, and where it stands in the 21st century.

Description

In god is Not Great Hitchens turned his formidable eloquence and rhetorical energy to the most controversial issue in the world: God and religion. The result is a devastating critique of religious faith god Is Not Great is the ultimate case against religion. In a series of acute readings of the major religious texts, Christopher Hitchens demonstrates the ways in which religion is man-made, dangerously sexually repressive and distorts the very origins of the cosmos. Above all, Hitchens argues that the concept of an omniscient God has profoundly damaged humanity, and proposes that the world might be a great deal better off without 'him'.
