''The Rage Against God'' (subtitle in US editions: ''How Atheism Led Me to Faith'') is the fifth book by Peter Hitchens, first published in 2010. The book describes Hitchens's journey from atheism, far left politics, and bohemianism, to Christianity and conservatism, detailing the influences on him that led to his conversion. The book is partly intended as a response to ''God Is Not Great'', a book written by his brother Christopher Hitchens in 2007. Peter Hitchens, with particular reference to events which occurred in the Soviet Union, argues that his brother's verdict on religion is misguided, and that faith in God is both a safeguard against the collapse of civilisation into moral chaos and the best antidote to what he views as the dangerous idea of earthly perfection through utopianism. ''The Rage Against God'' received a mostly favourable reception in the media. Hitchens was praised for making a forceful and intelligent case, in particular with respect to questions concerning morality and God. Some critics contended that the author was misguided in claiming that state atheism would lead to totalitarianism. ==Background== In May 2009 ''The Rage Against God'' was anticipated by Michael Gove, who wrote in ''The Times'': Hitchens first referred to ''The Rage Against God'' in August 2009, in one of his weekly columns: "Above all, I seek to counter the assertion, central to my brother's case ... that the Soviet regime was in fact religious in character. This profound misunderstanding of the nature of the USSR is the key to finding another significant flaw in what is in general his circular argument". Then, a week before the book's publication, Hitchens wrote: "...it is obvious much of what I say (The Rage Against God ) arises out of my attempt to debate religion with him (Hitchens ), it would be absurd to pretend that much of what I say here is not intended to counter or undermine arguments he presented in his book, God Is Not Great...".
