Hitchens has been on the right side in the War on Terrorism.

But I have no interest in his religious views. He's not on the right team.

There's an old poem called "The Hound of Heaven" about how you can't really get away from Him. He's been after Hitchens a long time. And won't go away.

Its not so much that Hitchens is on the wrong team, its simply that he refuses to understand (or perhaps, accept)the sovereignty of Divine Providence and Its mysterious interaction with free human will.
Of course, God knew that Jesus' trip to Jerusalem would end in Crucifixion and Resurrection, but that was God's plan for humanity before the creation of the world.
And God knew that Judas would betray Jesus, but Judas being a free man capable of making his own choices acted as he did because he wanted to.
Why he wanted to, is a subject that only he and the omniscient God of creation understand.
Jesus as God would never conspire with anyone to act in such as way as to lead to eternal damnation.
God never sends anyone to hell; we choose to separate ourselves from God of our own volition.
