Has he already been forgotten? Will he be remembered in 50 years?

God Is Not Great is a far more damning critique of religion than The God Delusion... Dawkins just doesn't have the literary flare that Hitch did.

He'll be remembered as a debater, not as an author.

I didn't particularly like God Is Not Great to be honest senpai. His debating style doesn't lend itself to writing in my opinion.

He won't be completely forgotten but he didn't really add anything to the atheist conversation that wasn't already there. I think he'll probably be remember more for everything he did outside of his atheism.

He is the inferior brother. He is still alright, won't really be forgotten.

le peter everything would be alright if we just established my set amount of values hitchens

Peter is a brainlet who thinks his small solutions will fix the entirety of a country but knows he's wrong but peddles that crap enjoying his safety from the position of a well-off commentator (one of the reasons he's never ran for office)

I don't like either of them btw

I think most people know him as an atheist polemicist first and foremost.

He did. He cost Michael Palin his seat in one election.

He never a hard thinker, and his writing was vastly overrated. He was a great rhetorician, though one could just as easily say that he had an uncanny ability for polishing turds.

If you read what he actually says, he clearly states he didn't intend to win.

He was great for challenging peoples religious beliefs which they might not have ever done prior to his appearance. There's a reason first year philosophy students always have some subject about god and it's because until then they have probably never thought about it. So what if he didn't make an original philosophical argument, the world is better off for him having been alive.
