Christopher Hitchens (1949–2011) was a journalist and essayist. In this book, his best-known, he takes on the major religions in turn and argues that ethics and wonder need no supernatural foundation.

In copyright. Twelve published the book in the United States, and Atlantic Books in Britain, in 2007. Hitchens died in 2011, and the copyright passed to his estate.

The dates are worked out from the publication dates and the authors' deaths. In the United States a book published before 1978 is protected for 95 years after publication, and a later one for 70 years after its author's death; in Canada a book is protected for 70 years after its author's death. Protection runs to the end of the year, so a book enters the public domain on 1 January.
