Author: Hitchens, Christopher

Condition: new

In the tradition of Bertrand Russells Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harriss recent bestseller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate caseagainst 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 andreason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescopes awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetryof the double helix.
