Regarding The Observer article titled "Tony Blair versus Christopher Hitchens — is religion good or evil?," which ran in The Japan Times on Dec. 4: Hitchens uses the concept of "goodness" descended from a long line of religious traditions that existed when most people were religious. He sounds parasitic on religion. Without presuppositions from religion, one cannot arrive at the concept of goodness by reason alone.
