Hitch explains how religion is a deterministic universal toxin from which nothing is exempt and that we have no need for divine permission. How each religion denies each other and ignorantly excludes thoughts and principles from anywhere else. How the wish to refer our responsibilities upward is a wish for a totalitarian solution to our problems, and this is how we end up with the divine right of kings political doctrine resulting in dictatorship with humans claiming they have divine authority.
Christopher ends on the moral point of how those who take solace in their belief that a holy book coerces good morals in people are insulting themselves, because we don’t need permission to act morally. This theocratic death wish is the greatest insult and has been and still is the greatest threat to us and all the gains of civilisation.
