1) A atheist is someone who dismisses the idea of God, although some
don't have the courage to also dismiss the word G-O-D.
Atheists differ on this. Some indeed dismiss the idea of God, and
dismiss as much Hindhuism and Christianism, Aristotle Gods and
Platonic Gods.
But then they believ in Matter, the "thrid God" of Aristotle. But they
want you to believe it is not a God, and seems unable to understand
that IF everything comes from primitive matter, it does play the role
usually attributed to God. No one has ever seen primitive matter, nor
explain how it proceeds, etc. Primitive matter is an etraoplation of
the SENSES to number relations inferred from experiences.
2) Christopher Hitchens said "What can be asserted without evidence
can also be dismissed without evidence"
Very good. So we can right at the start dismiss the God "Matter".
3) There is no evidence the idea of God is true.
There is no evidence that there is white giant sitting on the clouds.
4) Christopher Hitchens dismissed the idea of God (and he had the
courage to do the same with the word G-O-D).
Really? I think he dismissed only the institutions, and the
superstitions, not the theological concepts of the greeks and indians.
Therefore Christopher Hitchens was a atheist.
In a local and non interesting sense; once we aboard the fundamental
questions.
