Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur In "God is Not Great", Christopher Hitchens takes on his biggest subject yet: the increasingly dangerous role of religion in the world. In an acute reading of the world's major religious texts, Hitchens documents the ways in which religion is man made, a cause of dangerous sexual repression and a gross distortion of our origins in the cosmos. "God is Not Great" marvels at the possibility of society without religion, arguing instead that the concept of an omniscient God has profoundly damaged humanity. His book is a ferocious and eloquent attempt to persuade its readers that they would all be better off without 'Him'. Biographie de l'auteur Christopher Hitchens is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and visiting professor in liberal studies at the New School in New York. His books include Love Poverty and War and Blood Class and Empire. Thomas Paine's Rights of Man was published by Atlantic Books in 2006.
