"God Is Not Great" (Christopher Hitchens)

"God Is Not Great" by Christopher Hitchens is a critical examination of religion's impact on society.

He advocates for secularism and rational inquiry, emphasizing that morality and human well-being can and should exist independently of religious belief. The book challenges the idea that faith is a divine necessity, urging readers to question religious authority and consider a worldview based on reason, evidence, and humanism. Overall, it encourages a skeptical approach toward religious claims and promotes a more secular, rational approach to life.
