"[An] impressive and enjoyable attack on everything so many people hold dear ... Hitchens has outfoxed the Hitchens watchers by writing a serious and deeply felt book, totally consistent with his beliefs of a lifetime. And God should be flattered: unlike most of those clamoring for his attention, Hitchens treats him like an adult." -- New York Times Book Review, "[An] impressive and enjoyable attack on everything so many people hold dear...

Synopsis
Whether you're a lifelong believer, a devout atheist, or someone who remains uncertain about the role of religion in our lives, this insightful manifesto will engage you with its provocative ideas. With a close and studied reading of the major religious texts, Christopher Hitchens 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. In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's The End of Faith , Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion., "If you are a religious apologist invited to debate with Christopher Hitches, decline." -Richard Dawkins A stylish new paperback edition of GOD IS NOT GREAT, Hitchens' devastating critique of religious faith--a #1 New York Times bestseller.

  • An antidote for religion

    Hitchens is witty, funny and compelling! As I have moved from agnoscitism to atheism, this book gives depth into the pursuit of human values that I never found on christianity with fairly understandable statements. In a world where the far right is banning books over and over, It's the most suitable time to read this one.
