I have recently discovered the above orator author debater deceased.

Seems to have had a strong dislike of religion organised or otherwise.

He wrote several books dedicated to dismantling Judaism, Islam, Christianity,

with an intense dislike of the clergy in Catholicism.

He was the brother of Peter Hitchins the well known journalist. Christopher was very well known in literary circles and died of cancer a few years ago. He and his brother were estranged, but were reconciled just before Christopher died.

Thank you Magpie. Christopher died of cancer of the esophagus 2016.
Until recently I'd never heard of him, but have since watched hours of him
debating, often demolishing, some religions. He seems well researched on the subject
