Christopher Hitchens, described in theLondon Observeras "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 Russell'sWhy I Am Not a Christianand 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.
