GOD IS NOT GREAT by Christopher Hitchens

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.
