Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism: British atheist Christopher Hitchens is an equal-opportunity nonbeliever. In this provocative anthology, the author of God Is Not Great draws support from famed free thinkers, including Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Bertrand Russell, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Karl Marx, and H. L. Mencken.
With erudie and witty Hitchens as guide, you'll be led through a wealth of philosophy, literature, and scientific inquiry, including generous portions of the words of Lucretius, Benedict de Spinoza, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Mark Twain, George Eliot, Bertrand Russell, Emma Goldman, H. L. Mencken, Albert Einstein, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and many others. They're all set in context and commented upon as only Christopher Hitchens-"political and literary journalist extraordinaire” (Los Angeles Times)-can.
