Christopher Hitchens is the author of such controversial works as The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice, in which he criticizes the beloved Nobel Peace Prize winner and No One Left to Lie To: The Triangulations of William Jefferson Clinton. In God is Not Great, Hitchens argues that religion is a man-made wish, the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos.
