Critical Praise

"This time he's outdone himself . . . A spate of atheist screeds has arrived in the bookstores lately, but Hitchens' may be the best since Bertrand Russell's 'Why I Am Not a Christian' (1927), laying out the essential arguments with force and precision . . . He makes his case in the elegant yet biting prose we have come to expect from him . . . Hitchens is the reincarnation of H.L. Mencken, the penultimate social critic of the first half of the 20th century, who used words like gunshots and considered most Americans 'boobs.'"
-Associated Press

"Hitchens did himself a disservice by naming his book "God Is Not Great". Though he is an atheist, I do not think his beef is with God. It is with fanatical religious leaders and ignorant followers. Christians, read and be challenged. Do not consider this book as a threat. Let it be a reflection of how religion really can poison everything."
