Religion: Book review of "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything” by Christopher Hitchens

This is the first book that I have read by an atheist since I read Bertrand Russell’s “Why I not a Christian” in seminary. It is one of a new breed of books by outspoken atheists. It is probably not one of the most balanced of the lot. One should probably look at others such as Richard Dawkins’ “The God Delusion” or Sam Harris” “The End of Faith”. In any event I think that to read some opposing views from time to time can be stimulating and maybe even useful.
