| Sumario: | In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not aChristian and Sam Harris's recent bestseller, The End ofFaith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate caseagainst religion. With a close and erudite reading of themajor religious texts, he documents the ways in whichreligion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexualrepression, and a distortion of our origins in thecosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argumentfor a more secular life based on science andreason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope'sawesome view of the universe, and Moses andthe burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetryof the double helix. |
