Christopher Hitchens T-Shirts

Christopher Hitchens was an English author, literary critic, and journalist who spent much of his career in the United States and became an American citizen.

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.
