I am attempting to contact Christopher Hitchens.2007 was agreat year for atheists with Dawkins, Michel Onfray and Hitchens oh and A.C. Grayling Against All Gods.With the endless internet/utubes, writers conferences op ed pieces devoted to pointing out the absurdity, vacuity and downright violence of religious dogma have we ( I say we because I, in a small way, try to encourage my students in Australia to question many institutional norms) made any terminal lesions into the body of the American Family? This last reference to a book by Jeff Sharlet, The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power.
