Is there something about atheists and being English/British, just seems like a lot of those fellas around. I was a fan of Pat Condell there for a while but after a while he just seemed bitter and negative to me.
And Bill Maher, my goodness, is there a more smug man in the whole world than him?

Hitchens' arrogance can really be his downfall. He's utterly brilliant, but he knows it too and that carries over in his debates. If someone is near his level then he can get caught on his heels.
Don't for a moment think that you could debate the guy. He'd rip you to shreds in a heartbeat.
