Christopher Hitchens is an author ( "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything"), journalist and literary critic. Currently living in Washington, D.C., he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Slate, Free Inquiry, and a variety of other media outlets.

Hitchens is also a political observer, whose books have made him a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits.

In 2009 Christopher Hitchens was listed by Forbes magazine as one of the "25 most influential liberals in U.S. media." The same article noted, though, that he would "likely be aghast to find himself on this list" and that he "styles himself a radical", not a liberal.
