He was a propagandist, careless about facts.
This book lists a number of his factual errors.

On can only argue his bluntness can turn off even some atheists, but to claim he has a 12 year old's understanding of religion is laughable. Hitchens has a very deep understanding of the world's religions, not just Christianity.
Hitchens was not a "propagandist" anymore than Galileo was for telling the truth. Not liking criticism does not make the critic a propagandist.
