Product Description:
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.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Informative and persuasive
Hitchens is an extremely sharp, erudite, and well-qualified author on the subject of religion. Having had several encounters with different faiths in his life, he is a journalist who has witnessed first-hand the effects of religious belief around the world. He also has intimate knowledge of religious traditions through history, as well as of important thinkers. In this book he chronicles how throughout human history, religion has been the bringer of more suffering, fear, and misery than any other ... Read More
Rating:  - The War on Religion - A never ending conflict
it comes to no surprise that these anti-religious loons are trying to convert as many people to atheism and humanism when events like 9/11 were sparked by religious fundamentalism. It is fundamentalism that is the problem, not religion itself. However, these people who have limited understanding of God seek to do damage which is not supposed to be the role of individuals but rather a collective of people who seek to prove that they are right and everyone else who is not like them is wrong. These secular ... Read More
Rating: - This book is not about God
Whatever this book is about, it's not about God. It's about the author, first and foremost, which is perhaps a very exciting subject for the author himself, but not necessarily for his intended audience. It is also about the religion, primarily about the organized religion. I would suggest that an appropriate title for this book should be either 'Christopher Hitchens Is Great' or 'Organized Religion Is Not Great'.
Boring, inconsequential and meaningless is all I can say about this book.
Rating:  - Technical Critique- Audiobook is unintelligible
This review addresses the quality of the audiobook and does not address the content itself.
The engineer on this album failed or simply forgot to compress and/or normalize the audio.The narrator has a habit of "punching" the first words of the sentence and then trailing off to almost a whisper.
If you drive a very quiet car or have a killer sound system, this may not be an issue.For the Toyota drivers of the world, it's a nightmare.If you crank up the volume you get an ear ... Read More
Rating:  - Great book
Author shows his dislike for religion in an intelligent and informative manner.I would recommend people involved in religions to read and assess their views afterwards.
