It’s no great secret that I’m an atheist, but this kind of religious mocking really doesn’t sit well with me. The childish gloating is, well, childish and unnecessary: “I’m so much smarter and better than those pathetic spaghetti monster believers!” Honestly, that makes Hitchens and his ilk sound petty and mean.

I only have problems with the anti-gay and anti-science religious types (admittedly a significant portion of the religious) because that affects me and my family.

The rest? Eh, believe what you want…it’s no skin off my nose.
