I agree ,except for including Chris Hitchens.
Didn't like the personality. Then I read "God Is Not Great". (it was a gift) A pretty nasty polemic, but the guy was no philosopher , imo.
Blunt yes, nasty no. Truthful by every stretch.
Maybe you missed the part of the book where he made it clear, if invited to holy places, and he accepted he'd follow the customs in person.
The entire book was not anti human rights, but saying that religion does cause more divisions in humanity than it claims to solve.
I look at Hitchens as merely a blunt version of Sagan.
