"One obstacle to liberty, is the poisonous role played by fellow primates of mine, who think they can tell me what to do, in the name of god, because god has told them that they have this power. So that is one thing I would like to be shot of, right here in the here and now, and my suspicion is, if they really are so religious, where do they want power, in what world they care about, the next one, or this one, it will be this one every time because they too, know perfectly well, that this is the only life we have got." Christopher Hitchens

Did this quote come from his last book Mortality? He wrote it about dying as his last book when he was diagonosed with throat cancer. It is an excellent read!

It was directly transcribed by me from a video of him from youtube, I do not recall which particular video it was, but it is a direct quote of what he said. I was kind of surprised that it had not been mentioned in any of the quotations I had seen of his.
