During the dark ages of human understanding, he argues, religion held society within its tyrannical grasp as the only means of explanation. Hitchens’s goal: to prove that “religion has run out of justifications.” He argues that religion has outlived its usefulness and must now give way to the methods of science and reason. In God Is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, renowned atheist Christopher Hitchens demonstrates just that.

Though Christ-followers reject the atheistic perspective on religion, however, we don’t have to ignore them completely on all matters. Not about everything though, as Christians cannot accept their claim to the absence of God.
