God Is Not Great: The Case Against Religion

God Is Not Great: The Case Against Religion

by Christopher Hitchens (Author)

Synopsis

In "God is Not Great", Christopher Hitchens takes on his biggest subject yet: the increasingly dangerous role of religion in the world. In an acute reading of the world's major religious texts, Hitchens documents the ways in which religion is man made, a cause of dangerous sexual repression and a gross distortion of our origins in the cosmos. "God is Not Great" marvels at the possibility of society without religion, arguing instead that the concept of an omniscient God has profoundly damaged humanity. His book is a ferocious and eloquent attempt to persuade its readers that they would all be better off without 'Him'.
