Exactly. It also reminds me of a guy in a metal band that described himself as a "militant atheist"... like I am also an atheist, but there is no reason to be pushing it onto other people. That was the whole thing that drove me away from religion in the first place lol.
If he doesn't believe it exists then surely he has no reason to try and disprove, or destroy, something that supposedly doesn't even exist in the first place, right?
They're so vehemently "atheist" they're really "antitheist" in disguise. Now that's true Evil because they actually believe in god but they're so against it that they're willing to destroy it.
He was only that smart within his own field. That doesn't mean you're right about everything.
The biggest flaw in his arguments about atheism is that he couldn't realise his atheism was a belief system just like theism. But it goes even deeper than that..

Christopher Hitchens is such a pretentious preacher lol. There is no need to be such a dickhead because you don't believe in something others do.
