Synopsis
In God is Not Great, Christopher Hitchens takes on his biggest subject yet: the increasingly dangerous role of religion in the world.
In an acute reading of the world's major religious texts, Hitchens documents the ways in which religion is man made, a cause of dangerous sexual repression and a gross distortion of our origins in the cosmos. God is Not Great marvels at the possibility of society without religion, arguing instead that the concept of an omniscient God has profoundly damaged humanity. His book is a ferocious and eloquent attempt to persuade its readers that they would all be better off without 'Him'.

Review
Dazzling... It shows Hitchens can still intellectually get it up, and
how... -- Johann Hari, The Independent
Hitchens's book will be manna to the converted -- Mary Riddell, Observer
'A serious and deeply felt book, totally consistent with his
beliefs of a lifetime. And God should be flattered: unlike most of those
clamoring for his attention, Hitchens treats him like an adult.' -- New York Times Book Review New York Times Book Review New York Times Book Review New York Times Book Review
'Thank God for Christopher Hitchens. For he has written the finest
of the down-with-God books.'
-- Esquire US
...Christopher Hitchens is a master craftsman of argument... 'God
Is Not Great' is undoubtedly the most boisterously entertaining
contribution to the [atheism] debate.
-- Siobhan Murphy, Metro
Hitchens is a grand rhetorician, and his double-barrelled shotgun
of a book is high entertainment. -- Christopher Hart, Sunday Times
Like everything Christopher writes, it is often elegant,
frequently witty and never stupid or boring. -- Peter Hitchens, Mail on Sunday
