Sweet, delicious blasphemy.

I'd actually disagree with Hitchens a bit, it's not that "religion poisons everything" as it's the unwavering unthinking allegiance to any belief system that is the culprit. Religion is the most obvious target, and the most common abuser, claiming infallibility & omniscience. Political ideologies follow a somewhat distant second, imho.

Of course "substituting dogma for critical thought poisons everything" is far less catchy.

Nothing explains everything.
