Substack is the home for great culture
A few weeks ago, a commenter on Hartmann's substack recommended I read Christopher Hitchens's "God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything." I listened to the audiobook and then purchased the book so that I could follow up with some of the references and read some passages closely. I have to disagree with the late Hitchens that religion poisons everything, but many significant harms have been done in the name of religion. We need to be vigilant, as Thom has pointed out in today's article.
By the way, I recently finished Hartmann's audiobook from the Hidden History series on American Healthcare and also purchased the book as a resource. It's excellent, and I urge everyone to buy the book and or audiobook.
