God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
by Christopher Hitchens
Outstanding. The author makes the case that although spirituality has an important place in life, organized religions not only fail to enhance spiritual life for individuals or humanity collectively, but often interfere with it, and that religion has brought untold suffering and tragedy to the human race and is becoming too dangerous to tolerate now that we face the strong possibility of religious fanatics obtaining nuclear weapons.
As some other prominent authors have noted, this book is deadly serious and at the same time often savagely funny. The author presents a tightly reasoned examination of one aspect of organized religion after another and demolishes them all with scathing clarity of thought. Our culture is better for the freedom of thought and expression that makes it possible for this book to be written and published, impossible as that would have been in most of Western history and as it would be today if the fundamentalist movement had its way.
