Christopher Hitchens, described in the London Observer as one of the most prolific, as well as brilliant, journalists of our time takes on his biggest subject yetthe increasingly dangerous role of religion in the world. In the tradition of Bertrand Russells Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harriss 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 Telescopes awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.From the Hardcover edition.
