god is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens. Twelve.
If Richard Dawkins is “Darwin’s rottweiler”, then who is Christopher Hitchens? He is certainly more vicious than Dawkins.
In any case, buying their books is a public service; best-selling books about controversial topics (and the more I think about it, the harder I find it to believe that anything said in this book is really controversial) get their authors on television and on the radio and on speaking circuits. That much is a good thing.
No real surprises: it discusses the harm that religion has done and continues to do, and has lengthy sections on the absurdities of various religions.
