Über diesen Titel

 Whether you're a lifelong believer, a devout atheist, or someone who remains uncertain about the role of religion in our lives, this insightful manifesto will engage you with its provocative ideas.

With a close and studied reading of the major religious texts, Christopher Hitchens 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.

In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. Atheismus Christentum Philosophie Politik & Regierungen Religiöse Studien

Kritikerstimmen

"[An] impressive and enjoyable attack on everything so many people hold dear... Hitchens has outfoxed the Hitchens watchers by writing a serious and deeply felt book, totally consistent with his beliefs of a lifetime. And God should be flattered: unlike most of those clamoring for his attention, Hitchens treats him like an adult."—New York Times Book Review
"[Hitchens] has somehow turned out an atheist book that, whatever one's stance on divine providence, is thoroughly enjoyable...in its profane interrogation of the sacred, [it] achieves a kind of joyous impudence...His narrative leans briskly and unrelentingly forward, subverting an unsettling all kinds of complacencies, religious and otherwise."—Joseph Rago, Wall Street Journal

One of the best books you'll ever read about the futility, anachronism, absurdity and barbarism of religion

Simply enlightening

The content is great. So many arguments and lines of thought always backed up by source.

The language is beautiful. And I had to look up a lot of words for the high level of Englisch presented.

However the thing that was annoying was the way it was read making it often hard to understand even at 0.7 reading speed. At times the authors felt like he was mumbling and was extremely hard to understand.
I often head to crank up the audio level to max to understand while driving. As much as I love books being read by authors, in this case Someone with a clearer voice might better convey the excellent and important message of this book.

Though a clear recommendation!!!

Dens arsenal of arguments, beautiful language, optimizable audio

Christopher Hitchens is as charming as he is right. His analyses are sharp and to the point, but with the necessary humour.

Brilliant book by a brilliant man

Der 2011 verstorbene Hitchens ist sicher einer wichtigsten Religionskritiker des neuen Jahrtausends. Für die Fremdsprachler unter den Hörern wäre es aber wünschenswert gewesen, er hätte das Buch einem professionellen Sprecher überlassen. Seine betonungsarme nuschelnde Aussprache macht ihn schwer verständlich.

Modernes religionskritisches Standardwerk

This book, like anything from Christopher Hitchens, dazzles through its depth of insight and its beautiful, intricate language. As someone who loves to listen to Christopher Hitchens videos, hearing this book in his own voice was a special treat.

Brilliantly researched, beautifully narrated
