Atheism is not the state of being sure there is no divine being that's responsible for our existence.
It is for some people, AFS (and you know I'm certainly not talking about you ).
But guys like Hitchens took it so far that in its own way, it was an extreme form of religion in itself. For some people, it's an almost politically extreme brand of Athesim, if you will.
Every group has their extremists, there's no denying that. I once heard him recite a poem that was certainly rude and he credited to an old persian poet/mathematician who sure was an atheist by the looks of his poems, but he certainly was not disrespectful of others. And that poem was not the translation of his works. What can you say, we all can be at fault no matter what our positions.
