“Christopher Hitchens was shaky in his atheism, new book suggests”

I have no idea whether there’s any truth in this or not:

There have been debated claims that Fawn Brodie, the alleged biographer of the Prophet Joseph Smith, requested a priesthood blessing on her deathbed.

Decades ago, I read a memoir by the daughter of the famous atheist philosopher Bertrand Russell.  She had become a Christian, and she believed that, very late in his life, he was reconsidering his unbelief.

Obviously, this could be Christian/theist wishful thinking.

But it’s not impossible for such things to happen.  Antony Flew, probably Russell’s successor as the most prominent and vocal atheist philosopher in the English-speaking world, became a theist — most accurately, a deist — about six or seven years before his death in 2010.

So who knows?

(Well, God and Mr. Hitchens do.)
