±1±: Now is the time God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything Order Today!
In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's recent bestseller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case
against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry
of the double helix.

±1±: Best Buy This is a great book for both athists and religous people. In fact it's an important book in my childhood.
When I was born my mom wanted too make me go to church every week and educate me in a christian fundamentalist style. I sucked up those teachings like a sponge and I encountered many of the unfortunate side effects from the teachings. My frontal lobe, the part of the brain that controls reason was being dulled, I was woefully intolerant of people, and I was a sexist and racist. Fortunately my dad rescued me from my near coma like state by making me read "The Portable Atheist" and look up and research all the examples shown and think about what I'm reading instead of blindly believing. This mental exercise broke the mental chains that the church had put so much effort into wrapping around the reserves of reason of many children like me.
If your an athist you're gonna like this book but if you're religous then offer you a challenge. Read it, research the examples shown and think about what you're reading. If you have a niggling doubt in the back of your head that won't go away about how your relidgion doesn't make sense than the mental exercise will strengthen that doubt and allow it to cut the chain that your relidgion has wrapped around your mind, but if you don't have a niggling doubt than I feel sorry for you because clearly your beliefs have sucked every bit of intelligence from your mind and you're doomed to sleepwalk through life as a zombie. on Sale!
