Christopher Hitchens God is Not Great attempts to provide a genuine case against religion. With vitriolic attacks, the author pours scorn over the origins, teachings and values of the monotheistic religions. Surveying some traditional proofs for the existence of God as well as core religious sentiments and attitudes, he marvels at the prospect of a society free from the control an an Omniscient, Omnipotent and Morally Perfect Being. The book, however, lacks the accuracy of an informed work often making cruel and broad generalisations about religious peoples and tenets. Though the aim of the book is a critique of religion, it ultimately collapses into a polemic.
