God Is Not Great, Hitch 22: A Memoir and Arguably 3 Books Collection Set By Christopher Hitchens - How Religion Poisons Everything. God Is Not How Religion Poisons Everything God Is Not Great is the ultimate case against religion. In a series of acute readings of the major religious texts, Christopher Hitchens demonstrates the ways in which religion is man-made, dangerously sexually repressive and distorts the very origins of the cosmos. Hitch 22: A Memoir In this long-awaited and candid memoir, Hitchens re-traces the footsteps of his life to date, from his childhood in Portsmouth, with his adoring, tragic mother and reserved Naval officer father; to his life in Washington DC, the base from which from he would launch fierce attacks on tyranny of all kinds. Arguably Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011) was a matchless writer, debater and humanist. Throughout his life he shone the light of reason and truth into the eyes of charlatans and hucksters, exposing falsehood and decrying hypocrisy wherever he found it.

He really puts religion where it belongs!
Christopher Hitchens is the most intelligent and well read person on the planet. He also has a remarkable, apparently photographic memory, and can recall on demand most of what he has read. He has put to rest every argument for religion that has been thrown at him by a variety of religious leaders, and he was willing to take on any debate with any of them. This book is a culmination of those arguments. He speaks, not from emotional partisanship, but from historical facts. I would recommend this book to anyone, and especially to those who think a myth is factual.

Controversial but complete arguments against religion
The late Christopher Hitchens was the most confrontational among atheist writers, yet also, I think, the most informed. In this book he presents ample evidence against religion, including the violence it has engaged in. He says that religion is "man-made" and demonstrates considerable evidence to prove this point. The book also contains many words that were new to me such as solipsistic and adumbrate. At the same time I think the author fails to answer key questions such as why, if religion is false, do some six billion people in the world believe in one? He also fails to credit religion with the good that it does. Also a lot of his negative examples are from events that happened a long tome ago and are no longer practiced by any relation. I rate the book at four stars instead of five because of these shortcomings,. Believers will find their faith challenged by this book and atheists will find ample evidence for their beliefs. I agree that religion is man-made but am an agnostic regarding the possibility that there is a supreme being.I highly recommend it to everyone.

Best First Book On Atheism!
This Is An Excellent First Book On Atheism and It’s Not To Long! He Had An Excellent Mind! It’s Organized Like The Bible starting at Genesis. It has one area that deals with a Bible Text that Doesn’t Exist! Don’t Let That Throw You! The Rest Of The Book Is Excellent!!!
