Did he mock the almighty, as much as he mocked the man-made institution of Religion? Let’s face it, mankind has invented religions throughout the ages, to cynically use the concept of God to advance their own personal ambitions.

“Let’s face it, mankind has invented religions throughout the ages, to cynically use the concept of God to advance their own personal ambitions.”
__________________________________________

Man has invented religions because he is aware of his spiritual need, but is too proud and stubborn to humble himself before his true Creator, so he manufactures rituals and worships demons instead - or tries to be ‘good’ according to his own definition. These religions are the ABC Religions - Anything But Christ.

When one titles a book "God Is Not Great" that's kind of a signal.

Let’s face it, mankind has invented religions throughout the ages, to cynically use the concept of God to advance their own personal ambitions.

Would Hitch's target Mother Teresa be one of those?
