Mr. Hitchens’ hatred for religion colors a great deal of what he says and writes. This article is no exception.

I see nothing anti-religious in this observation:

Perhaps the single most abhorrent aspect of churches is that frauds and fools worm their way into the heirarchies and pulpits and by their evil invective and horrific actions discredit real religion.

I fail to see the point of the post. Is at an attempt at sarcasm?

There is nothing anti-religious in the observation that charlatans and frauds sometimes infest the pulpits. This has ever been the case. Just another aspect of life on planet earth. Just as it is also true that some of the greatest human beings to ever walk the earth have been pastors, prophets and saints. These too have been with us from the beginning and I thank God for the fact because if those who have made themselves great in the eyes of God were not present and giving council and guidance I doubt very much that I or anyone else would take thought to the reality that sustains the world and opens the doors to salvation.
