“Both Peter and the late Christopher Hitchens are atheists...” ???


I think Peter Hitchens is a Cstholic. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember reading about these brothers, and Christopher rejected religious faith, while Peter did not reject his faith. Peter is a well-known Conservative writer.

I guess I was wrong about Peter. This is from wikipedia (for what its worth)

Peter Hitchens was once an atheist like his late brother Christopher Hitchens,[52] but he became a member of the Church of England and an advocate of moral virtues founded on Christian faith and institutions such as marriage,[53] which he argues have since the 1960s been undermined by social liberals and cultural Marxists.[a] Hitchens defends the use of the Church of England's 1662 Book of Common Prayer and King James Bible. Of the latter, he has written "it is not simply a translation, but a poetic translation, written to be read out loud... to lodge in the mind and to disturb the temporal with the haunting sound of the eternal".[54]
