I've already read a whole bunch of Hitchens.
This is stuff I basically already know but well organized since Dawkins is a professor.

I'm sure the neighbors think we are satan worshipers and voodoo practioners since we don't go to church. There are no other social outlets.

They don't like anybody who is not a white anglo-saxon protestant of certain denomination, preferably Baptist or if you are a bit more affluent, Methodist. And there are lots of little unaffiliated churches with uneducated preachers who didn't go to a proper seminary.

There are very few atheists in prison. Einstein himself said that if people have to have a god watching them to make them do good then we are "a sorry lot indeed."
