The Atheist and the Christian:
The Paths of Christopher and Peter Hitchens
(Fox News) They are not exactly Cain and Abel, but theologically and philosophically Christopher and Peter Hitchens are just as divided as the brothers of the Old Testament. Christopher Hitchens, 61, author of the bestselling book God is Not Great, is one of the world's best-known atheists.
Peter Hitchens, two years younger, is not as well-known, but he is also an author, and a devout member of the Church of England. Estranged for years until very recently, the Hitchens brothers have just released books within days of each other.
Christopher's book is his memoir, titled Hitch 22. Peter's book, as well, is a memoir of sorts.
