Books like God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens


In this book, Christopher Hitchens presents a compelling argument against religion, using a close and erudite reading of major religious texts to document how religion is man-made, 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, replacing hell with the Hubble Telescope's view of the universe and Moses with the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.
