The same concept applies here to Hitchens’ view of Christianity. As I’ve heard an esteemed apologist say, when an atheist or skeptic describes God, I end up agreeing with him or her. Though this is clearly true throughout the book it is easily seen that though he knows about Christianity and Islam, he doesn’t really understand what they are about, particularly Christianity. He does spend more time writing against Christianity and Islam, which he recognized and admits that he does so because he knows more about those religions than others. It is written as a kind of argument against religion in general and Hitchens writes this polemic against all religions. The text’s two hundred ninety-six pages are broken up into nineteen chapters and an afterword. In some ways it is, but in this review my goal as a reviewer is to try to capture what is good about this book and make some comments in response to the arguments presented. It may seem odd that an apologetics website would post a book review for an atheist’s book that tries to argue against Christianity (and in this case religion in general).
