From the article:

April 4, 2007 -- THEY don't call him Christopher "Hellbound" Hitchens for
nothing. The heretic who attacked Mother Teresa in "Missionary Position" is
at it again with "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,"
hitting bookstores next month.
The jeremiad, reports The Post's Kyle Smith, is a merciless attack on every
faith - dryly called "ecumenical" by its editor, Jonathan Karp, who is
making it the second title in his new imprint, named 12 because it
publishes only one book a month.
"Religion has retarded the development of civilization," writes Hitchens,
who calls Saint Augustine "a self-centered fantasist and an earth-centered
ignoramus" and Mel Gibson "a fascist and ham actor [who] adheres to a
crackpot and schismatic sect, and has stated that it is a pity that his own
dear wife is going to hell because she does not accept the correct
sacraments."
