The Anti-theism and Anti-religionism of Christopher Hitchens

In this episode, I exposit the two sides of Hitchens' attitude towards God and religion: his anti-theism and his anti-religionism and identify a surprising and contradictory element to his thinking on religion that made him a heretics within the ranks of New Atheism. The criticism of Hitchens' position comes in the following podcasts.

Why did New Atheism die out when it was riding high the wave of media attention back in 2006 to 2012? In this podcast, Reasonable Doctor gives a range of reasons. In the next podcast, Reasonable Doctor will begin to explore the antitheist thought of Christopher Hitchens, one of the leaders of New Atheism, and reveals why Hitchens' was wrong about Christianity.
