Many of you will have seen this classic, but for those of you that are new to Hitchens and his orbit, it is well worth watching.
The film documents an almost two-hour roundtable discussion with the so-called new atheists: Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett. The group, also nicknamed “The Four Horsemen of the Non-Apocalypse”, met at Hitchens’ Washington DC apartment on September 30, 2007. For the non-Biblical scholars amongst you, the name is a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Book of Revelations.
I am glad someone had the foresight to document this.
Enjoy being a fly on the wall.

Thanks for posting The Four Horsemen roundtable! I watched this discussion years ago, and now watching it again gives me a chance to rehash earlier thoughts on much of what’s discussed herein. Looking forward to more of your posts, and more of such classics!

Thanks Hector. Several years later, after Hitch’s death, Ayaan Ali Hirsi joined the group as a “Horsewoman”. She did well, but Hitch had huge shoes to fill. Here’s a posting with the video: https://provokinghitchens.com/2015/07/30/heretics-horsemen-horsewoman/
