Slate is running excerpts from Christopher Hitchens' new book, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, which--as the title suggests--explores the heretical notion that God is a figment of man's imagination. As you'd expect from Hitch, there's not a whole lot of respect for people's beliefs.
All the excerpts are entertaining, but the third one, which examines the origins of the Mormon religion, might be of particular interest to those of us in the Southwest.
