Witty, blunt , and deeply observant. This book does not make expensive or indirect philosophical assumptions about religions, but rather comes straight to the point, and that point is in today's world how dangerous religions became. The book mainly concentrates on assaulting three 'great' monotheistic religions, but other 'seemingly less harmful ones' (eg. Budhism) were not 'spared' either. According to Hitchens, given their man-made origins and their violent track record in history, religions do not deserve 'respect', that they are entirely man made institutions driven by human ambition of controlling human societies by fear. Excellent book. 5 stars. (read Aug 2007)
