The bestselling cult classic on anti-theism

'Dazzling' Johann Hari
'Razor-sharp' Independent on Sunday
'Brilliant and fascinating' Irish Independent

god Is Not Great is the ultimate case against religion. 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'. In god is Not Great Hitchens turned his formidable eloquence and rhetorical energy to the most controversial issue in the world: God and religion. The result is a devastating critique of religious faith.

'Do yourself a favor and skip the Dawkins and Harris; they're smug, turgid, and boring, with all the human feeling of a tax return. Read Hitchens instead . . . A tendentious delight, a caustic and even brilliant book' Esquire

'Hitchens is a grand rhetorician, and his double-barrelled shotgun of a book is high entertainment . . . As with Voltaire, his scornful laughter is a powerful weapon' Sunday Times

'Christopher Hitchens is a master craftsman of an argument . . . god Is Not Great is undoubtedly the most boisterously entertaining contribution to the [atheism] debate' Metro

What readers say:

'I have to say Hitchens did a far better job than Dawkins' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'It is a must read for those with and those without faith' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'An amazing and honest viewpoint on religion and the damage it has caused throughout the ages' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'He is utterly fearless and expresses himself so eloquently that you cannot help but admire the conviction he holds, even if you do not agree with his every point' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'The case against religion could not have been more clearly or more comprehensively presented. An excellent book' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Whatever . . . your view of religion is, this book WILL have you thinking long after the last page is turned. And I'm sure that's exactly what Hitch intended' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐©2007 Christopher Hitchens

Exceptional book written with intelligent, open standpoints that give clarity to Hitchens perspective in an entertaining yet thoughtful way. Coming from a childhood dominated by the fear driven control of a Christian religion (my experience) I only wish I could have listened to this as a teenager. I find Hitchens whole manner to be driven by a genuine desire to reflect truth, facts and science to better educate the world in spite of religious zealots. His purpose is clear to give us the chance to make an informed choice for our life based on real understanding rather than fear driving it. Loved the book.
