A noted critic of religion and an antitheist, he said that a person "could be an atheist and wish that belief in god were correct," but that "an antitheist, a term I'm trying to get into circulation, is someone who is relieved that there's no evidence for such an assertion." According to Hitchens, the concept of a god or a supreme being is a totalitarian belief that destroys individual freedom, and that free expression and scientific discovery should replace religion as a means of teaching ethics and defining human civilisation. His antireligion polemic, New York Times bestseller God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, sold over 500,000 copies.
I just decided I will stop calling myself an atheist. I prefer antitheist. Theism and agnosticism must be completely eradicated from this planet.
