The book begins with a personal history of Hitchens’s journey to atheism. This guide avoids reproducing the vivid details within the book’s accounts of these acts, but they are mentioned repeatedly. These topics include child sex abuse, genital mutilation, rape, mental and physical trauma, and violence on both small and large scales. Potentially upsetting content can be found in nearly every chapter of God Is Not Great. The citations in this guide refer to the original 2007 United States edition of the book, published by Hachette Book Group.Ĭontent Warning: This guide and the corresponding book cover a number of traumatic and violent acts. Published first in the United Kingdom as god is not Great: The Case Against Religion and in the United States as god is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, it was republished in 2017 with no subtitle and with the pointed non-capitalization of “god” removed. It was a finalist in the non-fiction category for the 2007 National Book Award in the United States.
God Is Not Great reached number one on the New York Times bestseller list by its third week of publication, outpacing the extremely popular final Harry Potter novel.
