Chapter seventeen addresses the most common counter-argument that Hitchens says he hears, namely that the most immoral acts in human history were performed by atheists like Joseph Stalin.
U sedamnaestom poglavlju naznačen je najčešći protuargument za koji Hitchens kaže da ga čuje, to jest da su najnemoralnija djela u ljudskoj povijesti počinili ateisti poput Adolfa Hitlera i Josifa Staljina.
