In a series of acute readings of the major religious texts, Christopher Hitchens demonstrates the ways in which religion is man-made, dangerously sexually repressive and distorts the very origins of the cosmos. Above all, Hitchens argues that the concept of an omniscient God has profoundly damaged humanity, and proposes that the world might be a great deal better off without 'him'.'The anti-religion case has never been put so well, so comprehensively or so definitively as in this razor-sharp book... Hitchens accumulates a devastating case... Outstanding.' A. C. Grayling, Independent on Sunday'Hitchens is a grand rhetorician, and his double-barrelled shotgun of a book is high entertainment.' Christopher Hart, Sunday Times'Hitchens's writing is beautiful, his turn of phrase awe-inspiring, and his arguments mature.' Ed West, Catholic Herald'Dazzling... A campaign to put this glittering anti-theist tract on the national curriculum for religious education should begin here.' Johann Hari, Independent'We have been told countless times about the goodness of religion; Hitchens gives the case for the prosecution... His indictments are trenchant and witty, and the book is a treasure house of zingers.' Daniel C. Dennett, Boston GlobePolitics£8.99www.groveatlantic.co.ukJacket design by Ghost
