Literature is Better Than Holy Texts Says Hitchens

Mr. Hitchens makes a passionate case against organized religion as well as theocratic, fundamentalist states. He writes that "religion is not unlike racism." "Literature is a better source of ethics and a better source of reflection than our holy texts," he says. "People should read George Eliot, Dostoyevsky and Proust for moral leadership."
Quote from Huffington Post today.

Christopher Hitchens' new book, God is Not Great, has become a runaway best-seller to the surprise of himself and his obsucre publisher.
