    As you'd expect, it has had a lot of criticism by religious people, but frankly he makes some good points.

    It is. If you have been forced to attend a school that has a creationist agenda like me, or generally are repulsed by religion, it is fantastic.

    I'd reccomend youtubing him as well, he's the best debater I've ever seen. If you google "Hitchslap", you will be amused! <laugh>

    Hitch 22 is basically his autobiography, and the man has definitely had an interesting life!

    Christopher Hitchens is absolutely brilliant, a flawless man of language who destroys anybody who debates with him. God is Not Great is a fantastic book, highly recommended to anybody who wants to know more about religious hypocrisy and how it poisons the world.

    Would also throw in The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins as a good opponent of religion too. Carl Sagan also tackles all forms of superstition, in a more courteous manner, from UFO believers to astrology, religion and more in Demon Haunted World. It's glorious reading books from a perspective where each point is perfectly explained and proven in a reasonable and scientific manner.
