Christopher Hitchens: Blasphemy, Wit, Shock, and Morality
Updated 26 days ago
Christopher Hitchens died in 2011 but he is still renowned as one of the original Four Horsemen of the New Atheism. Renowned for his sharp wit and formidable debating skills, Hitchens argued relentlessly for the separation of church and state, highlighting the dangers he saw in organized religion’s influence over public life. A 30-minute video will show why he is noted for the “Hitch-slap” (carefully crafted verbal barbs) and his use of “Hitchens’s Razor” (what is asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence).
