God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

I read Christopher Hitchens' column in Vanity Fair every month, and after reading an excerpt from his book, I decided to read it.

Well, it is extremely rare that I cannot finish a book, but this book set a new record. I quit in the middle of the second chapter. In my opinion, this was one man's laundry list/rant of atrocities committed in the name of religion--at least the beginning of chapter 2. But what put me over the edge was how after each example, the author then repeated his catch-phrase "religion spoils everything."
