When an atheist dies it is wrong to wonder what is happening to them now that they are dead. Instead we might consider whether they lived well while alive. Had we been able to ask that one question to Christopher Hitchens as he died, it seems he would have answered that he had.

—Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, from his HuffPo piece, “When an Atheist Dies: Religious Reflections on Christopher Hitchens’ Death”
