Christopher Hitchens "rocks" the Sydney Opera House with his furious opening of the 'Festival of Dangerous Ideas' in October 2009. The topic was 'Religion Poisons Everything'. WHEN Christopher Hitchens says religion poisons everything, he is not kidding - he really does mean everything. Answer by Christopher Hitchens: ''Yup. People ask - do you mean religion poisons aerobic dancing? Chess? Tantric sex? And I say yes - it does. Religion attacks us in our deepest integrity by saying we wouldn't be able to make a moral decision without it, and that a supernatural dictatorship is our only hope. That makes us all into serfs. And chess and Tantric sex and Chinese food are pointless if you must enjoy them as a serf.''
