Critique of "God is Not Great" by Christoper Hitchens

[robvalue]

Even though I think religion is bullshit and it doesn't directly poison me, it still affects me by the way it has poisoned the environment.

I'm lucky enough to live in England where God has left the building, so the effects are minimal locally, but in many other countries religion is everywhere fucking up your shit even when you want no part of it.

"Poisons everything" is clearly a euphemism anyway, I don't think it's reasonable to assume this was literal. He doesn't mean it poisons every single atom in the universe, or even just here on Earth. It's just a shorthand way of describing the multitude of ways religion can cause harm.
