Christopher Hitchens Lied Like a Rug

The author shows that Christopher Hitchens, the famous journalist and militant atheist, lied constantly. Some of the more prominent lies are: the lie that Hitler was a Catholic; the lie that atheists have a lower crime rate than Christians; the lie that the war in Bosnia was caused by religion (when the truth is that the war was caused by Slobodan Milosevic, who was an atheist); and the lie that Bill Clinton threatened the life of someone who was planning to testify against him. In addition to lying, Hitchens has a record of making statements that are simply bizarre, such as when he said he saw nothing wrong with Palestinian terrorists killing Israelis.
