[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris seem to be anti-theists. If you've listened to them, you can see what anti-theists believe. (Hitchens once said he was from the "extremist wing" of the school atheism.).[/quote] I agree. Hitchens described himself as an anti-theist, who saw all religions as false, harmful, and authoritarian. Hitchens, Christopher (2005). Letters to a Young Contrarian. Basic Books. pp. 55, 57. ISBN 0-465-03033-5. I am [not a] part of the generalised agnosticism of our culture. I am not even an atheist so much as I am an anti-theist... all religions are versions of the same untruth... the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful... cradle-to-grave divine supervision; a permanent surveillance and monitoring... I am [not] privy to the secrets of the universe or its creator... even [the best of the theisms] are complicit in this quiet and irrational authoritarianism.“[/quote]
