God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

by Christopher Hitchens

Grand Central Publishing | April 6, 2009 | Trade Paperback

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.

    helpful to you?

The main flaw of this book is that it relies only on fanciful rhetoric and hardly presents any facts. As well, it is difficult to get into as the tone is quite harsh and arrogant and the work itself is very random (as in, not planned out). It seems as if he was just writing whatever came to his head at the time without trying to correlate any of it together. Confusing, convoluted, and ultimately, not worth it.
