Book Description:
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.
