The discussion between cvvcdad and ruff on Hitchens religious / non regligioius views could go on for pages and pages, but then the thread would have to be moved back to the politics page. Hitchens on Iraq / Saddam will be remembered by many.

I have no idea why religion is considered political.

This American did not recognize his name. "God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything"? I don't read stuff like that, generally speaking. I'm atheist, I don't need to read books validating my own opinion on the matter. And I'm not especially interested in proselytizing to anyone else. |

It's a good book and he's a good writer. Was.
It's not exactly an atheist position. It's more of an anti-religion position.
