Currently living in Washington, D.C., he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Slate, Free Inquiry, and a variety of other media outlets. Hitchens is also a political observer, whose books — the latest being God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything[1] — have made him a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits. In 2009 Hitchens was listed by Forbes magazine as one of the &#8220;25 most influential liberals in U.S. media.&#8221; The same article noted, though, that he would &#8220;likely be aghast to find himself on this list&#8221; and that he &#8220;styles himself a radical&#8221;, not a liberal.
