Not only that, Christians wasted no time in claiming he had a deathbed
conversion.  (Though they wouldn't have claimed that if they'd really listened
to him.  If I were the Christian god, I'd be very afraid if he showed up at my
gate.)

Seriously, though, he was a polemicist, not an advocate for violence against the
religious.  (Though he did support the Bush the Lesser's invasion of Iraq.  I
never did find out what that was about.)

Hitchens was really popular among atheists in the USA.  Perhaps we have a bigger
problem with fundamentalist Christians than you do in Germany.
