Product Description

 
Essayist and contrarian Christopher Hitchens takes on all the world's major and minor religions (and, perhaps, God himself) in this well-argued, though controversial, summa theologica. Hitchens considers religion to be a primitive response to the world, cites the harm done through history in the name of religion, and argues in favor of science and reason. He is less than hagiographic on Gandhi, Billy Graham, the Dalai Lama, and, of course, Mother Teresa, who got the full Hitchens in his earlier work, THE MISSIONARY POSITION. As always, Hitchens is erudite, acerbic, and eminently readable. And he can quote scripture to illustrate his points!

A Walk on the Politically Incorrect Side

Date of Review:  Nov 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you find anything in The God Delusion at all offensive, do not read this book!
Review: …it is what all know and will admit as readily to be the fact--that in the temples adulteries are arranged, that at the altars pimping is practised, that often in the houses of the temple-keepers and priests, under the sacrificial fillets, and the...

An Atheist Manifesto Worth Reading

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a highly readable book expressing a very passionate, literate, argument in favor of atheism.
Review: This is an awesome book. In a season when atheist manifestos are suddenly of interest, Christopher Hitchens has written a book that nukes the competition, not so much because he invents such great and novel arguments for atheism but because he...

The Athiests Bible

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: A great challenge to the 21st century - a great baptismal gift for the open minded and skeptics in your life.
Review: Hitchens lays a solid foundation to bolster the stunning title of this tome, that will make find its place along Voltaire and Camus as a must read for every serious skeptic and thinker.

I received this book as a "Christmas" gift - I'll let...

Professional Reviews

  New York Times Book Review: "[Christopher Hitchens] has written, with tremendous brio and great wit, but also with an underlying genuine anger, an all-out attack on all aspects of religion....[A] serious and deeply felt book, totally consistent with his beliefs of a lifetime."

First Line

  If the intended reader of this book should want to go beyond disagreement with its author and try to identify the sins and deformities that animated him to write it (and I have certainly noticed that those who publicly affirm charity and compassion and forgiveness are often inclined to take this course), then he or she will not just be quarreling with the unknowable and ineffable creator who--presumably--opted to make me this way. They will be defiling the memory of a good, sincere, simple woman, of stable and decent faith, named Mrs. Jean Watts.
