hmmm...
just watched a really cogent "short" on YouTube of CH talking in some auditorium and saying first, what he thinks is the most dangerous religion, and secondly, the one thing he'd change...
went offline - and anyway, the old blog doesn't like this kind of video apparently.
Basically, he said that religion takes away from its believers the 'one thing that separates us from other primates, our ability to reason'.
(a close paraphrase until I can listen again.
YouTube has it titled as "Christopher Hitchens - Faith is NOT a virtue #shorts")
"..if I could change one thing.." Christopher Hitchens
