In his book God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, Christopher Hitchens analyzes and criticizes the various claims of religions and the tragic events that have been caused by various religions. The title of the book summarizes Hitchens' arguments in this book in that he makes many arguments about why "religion poisons everything." Most of the chapters in this book discuss why he believes religion is a man-made concept that has caused more problems than anything else in the world. Most of his attention is paid to the three Abrahamic religions: Christianity, Islam and Judaism, but he also adapts to criticism of other religions. The topics he chooses to discuss range from the sketchy origins of Mormonism to the issues of circumcision. Through his various arguments, Hitchens not only claims that religion is man-made, but also that the idea of ​​any kind of divine being is absurd. Hitchens argues that there is no divine being by analyzing the various flaws of religion. It begins with religious arguments during the elementary school years and goes from there to questioning religion on a larger scale. He spends a good portion of his book analyzing wars and suffering caused by people of faith. He questions God's customs and ethics in various religious texts. Hitchens focuses all of the book's attention on the negative aspects of religion and decides that because of these negative aspects of religion there is no higher power in the universe. His argument goes beyond trying to discredit religion, but sees a call to end religion. He states: “Above all we need a renewed Enlightenment, which will be based on the proposition that the adequate study of customs… middle of paper… has merit because throughout history religion has had its harmful effects. What Hitchens did with these examples was try to present them in such a way as to lead a person not very knowledgeable in reasoning skills to think that religion only caused harm. He makes statements that paint those with religious beliefs as fanatics with the primary purpose of killing those who do not believe their way of believing. By not fully exploring how religion had beneficial effects, Hitchens developed an argument that could easily convince people that religion only had negative effects. The next stop in this exploration of this book is chapters seven through nine, which reviewer Geoffrey Sutton says “seems to be the whole point of his book” (372). These three chapters delve into the analysis of the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Koran respectively.
