1. Hitchens vs. Hitchens

I hate to give ammunition to theists but in the interest of honest debate I can think of a candidate nation that meets Christophers requirements for a fair comparison of atrocities. His requirements being that the nation is based on the ideas or philosophies of Democritus, Spinoza, Paine, Jefferson, etc. Namely the United States vis-a-vi Native American genocide. I can't be the only person that thought this unless I've misunderstood what he was saying. I only say this to suggest that people not make the same argument.

EDIT*
I did misunderstand what Christopher said by leaving off "fully embraced" as part of his requirements for the nation or state.
