I haven't read any of it. Quite frankly, I'm not particularly concerned what anyone else thinks.
This strikes me as the heart of the matter. While arguments supporting atheism are important, atheism has no required dogma - you can believe in anything but gods and still be an atheist. This is one of the primary differences with religion. Don't believe in transubstantiation? Then you're not 'real' Catholic. Put off by the doctrine of infant damnation? Wesleyan Methodists want nothing to do with you.
But as admirable as Hitchens was, you don't need to have read a single thing he ever wrote to qualify as an atheist.
