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.
