Description
Within the tradition of Bertrand Russell’s Why I Am Now not a Christian and Sam Harris’s contemporary bestseller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes without equal case
against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the main spiritual texts, he documents the ways wherein religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins Within the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life in accordance with science and
reason, wherein hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope’s awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give technique to the sweetness and symmetry
of the double helix.
