The ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, Hitchens 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 reality.

Good read. Hitchens is blunt and unforgiving in his writing, which is a necessity given the subject matter.
Delightfully witty ...
... putdown of pompous and hateful creeds of all sorts. Hitchens combines thoughtful arguments and erudition (à la Bertrand Russell or Richard Dawkins) with the wit of a George Carlin.
