Milesian Who's Who - Christopher Hitchens

Milesian Who’s Who

Christopher
Hitchens
1949—
Linquist, philosopher, author, political activist, lecturer

He was named, to his own amusement, number five on the list of the “Top 100 Public Intellectuals” by Foreign Policy and Britain's Prospect. “God did not make us,” Christopher Hitchens writes. “We made God.” Religion, he explains, is a distortion of our origins, our natures, and the cosmos. We damage our children — and endanger our world — by indoctrinating them.” Whether lifelong believer, devout atheist, or someone who remains uncertain about the role of religion in our lives, you will want to consider and engage in the arguments within Christopher Hitchens highly recommended book god is not Great — How Religion Poisons Everything .

What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.
