*I am not dogmatically insistent that there are no such things as Gods, spirits, afterlives, etc. But I do demand some model for how they could fit in with what we already know about physics, cosmology, neurology, etc. Failure to provide such a model when the best current science suggests the phenomena themselves are not necessary to explain anything is fair grounds to be skeptical.
Hitchens got at least one thing right in saying that the triumph of atheism is not the total disproof of God, but simply the moment when God became entirely optional.

*Western Civilization is older than Christianity, and barring total collapse and destruction, Western Civilization will outlast Christianity.
