God is NOT Great

RichardDawkins.net - The Official Richard Dawkins Website: "'[Religion] comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species,' he writes, 'and it is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge as well as comfort, reassurance, and other infantile needs. Today, the least educated of my children knows much much more about the natural order than any of the founders of religion.'

But Hitchens is not satisfied to merely refute religion. He must also demonize it as 'an enemy of science and inquiry,' as 'subsisting largely on lies and fears,' and as 'the accomplice of ignorance and guilt as well as of slavery, genocide, racism and tyranny.' Hence the book's subtitle, 'How Religion Poison's Everything.'"
