Author: Hitchens, Christopher

With his unique brand of erudition and wit, Christopher Hitchens addresses the most urgent issue of our time: the malignant force of religion in the world. In this eloquent argument with the faithful, he makes the ultimate case against dogma (and for a more secular approach to life) through a close and learned reading of the major theological texts. Hitchens tells the personal story of his own dangerous encounters with religion and describes his intellectual journey toward a secular view of life based on science and reason. Whether one is a lifelong believer, a devout atheist, or someone who remains uncertain about the role of religion in their lives, this insightful book will engage readers with its provocative and controversial ideas. "God did not make us," Hitchens writes. "We made God."
