Hitchens goes to great length to point out the many and varied crimes of institutionalized religion. This is something that not even the most devout Catholic would deny. The crusades, the inquisitions, burning people alive and other horrible and immoral acts fill the history of religion like a syringe filled with poison. Hitchens' main point, and also something that I thing most people of any religion would agree with, is that these acts shouldn't be forgotten or forgiven simply because they were done in the name of any particular religion. Immoral acts are immoral no matter who does them. Indeed in the varied reviews that people have given of this book, critical reviews nearly always forget to even mention these crimes and immoral acts. They might get caught up with something as pedantic as the wording of a scriptural quote. To me this seems like a rather pathetic argument. It's much like a murderer in court saying "Look, forget about him saying I killed all those people - he said I wore brown shoes when I was clearly wearing black!". It picks at minute details to distract from the larger ones. That's not to say that reasonable religious readers will agree with this book wholeheartedly. Hitchens makes no attempts to hide the fact that he does not believe in God, and feels there is absolutely no compelling reason to do so. He even goes on to point out that if you were to practice your religion and beliefs in the comfort of your own home, he wouldn't have the slightest problem with it. He does, however, object to the god described in the old testament as an immoral monster. Overall there is a lot to take from this book, regardless of your personal views on the matter. Its focus is perhaps less controversial than The God Delusion in that the crimes detailed are a matter of historical record and considered horrific mistakes even by the most conservative of church-goers. If I had to make only one complaint about this book it would be that I didn't always feel that the examples given fell exactly in the subject of the particular chapter where they were placed. The examples were compelling and important to know about, but sometimes I feel they would have been better used at different points in the book to support some other argument. I would recommend this book to anybody regardless of their beliefs if only so that they can be aware of the wrong that can be done in the name of religion and do their best to avoid it ever happening again. Review: Enlightening - Enlightening. Hitch gives a formidable argument against organized religion. A must read for secular humanists and theists alike. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Amazon Bestseller | #54,449 in Foreign Language Books ( See Top 100 in Foreign Language Books ) #83 in Judaism (Foreign Language Books) #90 in General History of Religion #95 in Hinduism (Foreign Language Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (9,008) | | Dimensions | 5.08 x 0.75 x 7.8 inches | | Edition | Main | | ISBN-10 | 1838952276 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1838952273 | | Item Weight | 226 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | May 6, 2021 | | Publisher | Atlantic Books | ## Images ![God Is Not Great - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7120EeJh8-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An important book. *by K***R on July 21, 2011* Having finished reading this book the first thing I would point out to a potential reader is that the subtitle provides a better description than the main title.
