From The Infancy Of Our Species

Hitchens begins with a reminder that religion comes from the infancy of our species, when we didn’t know what we have learnt over time as better thinking has progressed our understanding.

He provides sound reasoning for myth creation, being that the mind searches for form, and how unfortunately, we are now stuck with what we made in our infancy, when things said were not exactly true.

Recognising we make our own myths, it is a good thing however, that we do not take the old religious stories seriously, for example the warrants for genocide, slavery, torture of children, genital mutilation, annexation, rape etc. And it’s a very good thing that we know these religious writings are man made.

Hitchens ends with, how the behaviour of religious fanatics is not just offensive to civilisation but threatens it, with people dying from religious dogma. From the killing of a danish cartoonist, to the threatening of education with teaching in schools of nonsense like intelligent design theory.
