I'm watching a Hitchens debate and he claimed that WWI and WW2 were caused by religion. Are there any actual historians who believe this is true? How does a man who claims that objective reasoning is superior to faith make such ridiculous assertions?
As far as his claim that we should do away with religion for the sake of peace, I think that would be a stupid reason. The purpose of religion is not world peace.
Another assertion that he used to always turn back to is that religious thinking evolves with new evidence. The problem is that science does the same thing. So, so what?
Any Hitchens fans care to defend him?
