It's Man Made, And It Shows

Today we feature: Christopher's opening remarks debating whether we'd be better off without religion, recorded in the year 2007 alongside team mates A.C.Grayling and the world reknowned Richard Dawkins.

Hitchens starts off exclaiming he would NOT feel safer in religious surroundings, in such towns split by barbaric religious sectarian warfare. In towns where it's a matter of faith that determines your identity and human rights. Describing places of ethnic cleansing where minority citizens are persecuted under religious constitutions.

He then points out lessons we should learn from history - how the preaching of religion gravely poisons and retards civilisation.

How facsist countries historically have in no way been secular, actually driven by the religious impulse of man, with the argument from faith driving opportunist forces.

Hitchens then lifts up the cause for atheism quite bluntly saying, There's no moral equivolence between non-believers who hold evidence, scepticism and reason with conviction and principle, and the fanatics who think they know god's will and can tell you what it is.
