. This book is about the consequences of religion more than whether Christ rose from the dead (Krishna, Mithras, Osiris, Attis of Phrygia, Dionysus, all of whom besides being born on December 25th from a virgin mother, died and were resurrected, except for Mithras - who ascended directly without dying!) or whether the text of the verses of the Qur’an correspond exactly to those revealed to Muhammad directly as the words of God, delivered to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. It is more focused on how religious scriptures and writings have been misused to harm, torture or kill others who don’t believe, or used for justification to do what most rational persons would consider evil. Christopher Hitchens puts it not so “mildly” as he claims he does when he says “Religion poisons everything”, and “Religion Kills” [2]
There was a 30 year war (1618-1648) over religion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years’_War
