Hitchens is witty, funny and compelling! As I have moved from agnoscitism to atheism, this book gives depth into the pursuit of human values that I never found on christianity with fairly understandable statements. In a world where the far right is banning books over and over, It's the most suitable time to read this one.

This is a comprehensive critique of religion. Hitchens is a brilliant writer and renowned for his contrarian thought, this is a masterpiece indeed. Personally it gave me good reason to switch from ambivalent about religion to full-on anti-theist. The book is not only informative, but entertaining. I gave it to a friend as a Christmas gift, I thought it fitting considering his recent death and his opposition to the religious right that tries to ruin the mostly pagan holiday. The Hitchslap will truly be missed, but this is a work that will live on beyond his years.
I bought this book because I like reading about other people's theology. At first Mr. Hichens seemed a bit bitter about religion being shoved down his throat when he was a child. Later chapters show a rational adult point of view why religion can be harmful to nations. He makes several interesting points. I still have my beliefs, but found his point of view to be interesting and to make me think about my own ideas.
I considered my nonreligious before, but after having read this manifesto I am now officially religiously nonreligious!!!
