God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

by Christopher Hitchens

Published for the first time: 1/1/2007

307 pages, Hardcover

Genres: Atheism, Science, History, Politics, Nonfiction, Religion, Philosophy

God Is Not Great makes 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."
