Christopher Hitchens: How Religion Is Like North Korea | News ...

Posted: August 28, 2011 ? 12:10 am. Dean

Complete video at: fora.tv In this highlight from May 2007, noted atheist Christopher Hitchens compares monotheistic belief to a despotic dictatorship ? similar to his observations of North Korea under Kim Jong Il. The key difference, he argues? ?You can get out of North Korea ? you can die, and it?s over. You can?t do that with monotheism.? ?? Christopher Hitchens speaks about his new book God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. Hitchens, an always colorful and sometimes outrageous commentator, now takes aim at God. Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins have tried, but that hard-to-hit Fellow keeps popping back up. Worse still are the violent ways of his flock: waging religious warfare, keeping women enslaved, fomenting universal hatreds. Hitchens makes a powerful case for atheism ? Politics and Prose Christopher Hitchens is an author and journalist whose books, essays, and journalistic career span more than four decades. He has been a columnist and literary critic at The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Slate, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry, and became a media fellow at the Hoover Institution in 2008.
