Far be it from me to bash anyone's 2000-odd year old cult, but he makes some strong points on the side of not believing something just because you were raised that way, or because someone takes the time (how loving!) to persuade you into joining them. And he makes it look easy.
Christopher Hitchens is a breath of fresh air. Always listen critically. He's looking for equals, not converts.
