Book Reviews of God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
Book Review: This Hitchens fan predictably likes this Hitchens book
Summary: 4 Stars
Christopher Hitchens does not think it's possible to rid humanity of religion, and he doesn't object to religion, as long as people keep it to themselves. He feels that anything beyond deism is not rational and is man-made; that religion is from a much more ignorant time of our species development; that religion does not make men good and provides wide license for those prone to evil.
I wasn't crazy about Hitchens' books about Jefferson or about Paine, but this book is of higher quality. He does seem to get caught up in the trees at the expense of the forest; e.g., I'm not sure he states outright that faith leads to belief in the unsupported and blind acceptance of authority.
It's a fine Hitchens book. I don't know how it compares to other atheist works; I'm already an atheist and don't feel a need to study the theory and practice of it.
