Yeah I often raise points made by both of them and they are very well received by even the most religious people here.
I honestly think both Dawkins and Hitchens are a little extreme with their words and what they accept but I understand that it's as a reflection to the equally strong words coming from the religious side of the debate.
I find both atheists and deists in Japan to be a lot more level-headed and also accepting of each other. Which honestly is so refreshing, if for no other reason than for good discussions that don't turn emotional and defensive.
