Hitchens debates Ken Blackwell from the Family Research Council on the decline of christianity in the United States. This country was founded on secular ideology - not christian dogma.

Statistics unambiguously show that all religion - christianity in particular - is declining in the United States, and will continue to do so.

  • Hitchens is clear, intelligent and concise. Blackwell is flustered desperate and cherry picking. Blackwell is having a crisis of faith. Just take note of his nervous laugh and painful smile. 100% HITCHSLAPPED!

  • they keep hammering it: this country was founded on judeo-christian principles, as if saying it enough would make it so! you will notice that he stutters as he tries to make a point UNTIL he finally gets to this stock insistence. :"uh- uh- uh- uh... founded on judeo christian principles."

  • they do try, don't they? to confuse the pilgrims with the founding fathers...

  •  5:01 "forf-right"! it makes me crazy! this guy has a car and a mortgage and takes vacations, and he speaks for a living! aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
