Christopher Hitchens seems to think that if you believe some people are going to hell you are a bigot, as it shows that you think the unsaved are worth less than the saved. This shows an extreme lack of theological understanding on Hitchens' part. According to Christian theology, all people are worth the same, no matter what their race, sex, lot in life or eternal destination. The salvation of an individual is decidedly not a matter of their intrinsic worth, it is a matter of God's grace and their choice. God extends grace to all and all get to decide what they want to do with it. The one who ends up in hell is as valuable in God's eyes as one who ends up in Heaven – the difference between them is their choices.
