God Is Not Great | Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Hitchens. God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. Hachette, 2007. 307 pp.
In the tradition of Bertrand Russell’s Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris’s recent bestseller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he 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 Telescope’s awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.

Thanks for the link to Faithfully Liberal Matt. I appreciate it. Just wanted to point out that I didn’t do the review that it was actually Chris Marlin-Warfield.
Thanks again for the link.
