God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything is a non-fiction book by author and journalist Christopher Hitchens.
In the book, Hitchens contends that religion is "violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children."
The book was published on May 1, 2007, and within a week had reached #2 on the Amazon.com bestsellers list (behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). Indeed, the book was so popular, it sold out on Amazon.com and many other online merchants[1].
