Hitchens has a refreshingly different approach to exposing the absurdity and harmful effects of religion (compared to Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins and the like). While Harris’s and Dawkins’s latest books have a bit of overlap, I found very little to no overlap of material in “God is Not Great.” As a profoundly well read historian and journalist, his lexicon is a bit out of my reach and many of his literary allusions were lost on me but I enjoyed the challenge. I have to admit that I prefer the streamlined, accessible, “no nonsense” writing of Harris but I did appreciate Hitchens writing style for its unique qualities. Though he is discussing dark subject matter, his tone remains upbeat most of the time.Unlike Dawkins and Harris, he gives many accounts of his firsthand experiences/encounters with religion and the religious.The content of the book weaves a compelling argument for “how religion poisons everything.”I highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning about how religion affects our world.Get the book HERE.
