I arrived at the Bergstrom International Airport a few months back and realized, much to my chagrin that I had forgotten to pack any sort of on-flight literature. Luckily, I had time to browse the newest releases in the airport BookPeople. None of the book titles caught my attention until I saw Christopher Hitchens’ new book entitled “God is not Great, How Religion Poisons Everything”.
I picked up the book (with its obnoxious, glowing yellow cover) without reading anymore than the title and was soon on my way to learning more about religion than almost TEN years of studies at parochial schools had taught me. With a very intelligent and satiric tone to his writing, he shows the reader the darker sides of what arguably the most important social institution of mankind.
If you are looking for a challenging read with a great reward for knowledge at the end, “God is not Great” will enlighten any reader willing to take a step back and re-examine religion as a whole. One of the strongest aspects of the book is that he doesn’t focus solely on one religion but dissects almost all major religious faiths and then gives you verifiable facts to back up his claims.
Readers that enjoy a sharp, witty tone will appreciate Christopher Hitchens latest book whether they agree or disagree with his arguments.
