Mother Teresa letters/ Nonbelievers coming out of the closet

These somewhat surprising letters should be a catalyst for thoughtful discussion. I say "should be" because they will probably instead prompt merely the drawing of the usual battle lines.

E.g. this "Hardball" debate (well, what do you expect? It's "Hardball") between Christopher Hitchens, author of an unsympathetic book on Mother Teresa (in this clip, he seems to have acquired a bit of sympathy for her as a pawn in the game, although that could simply be a rhetorical tool) and Father Bill "You wanna take this outside?" Donohue, who, in this exchange, makes Hitchens (whom I grudgingly admire but have trouble forgiving for his pro-Iraq war stance) look relatively equanimitous.

Here's the book which compiled the letters discussed in the Time article:
Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light by Brian Kolodiejchuk

And on a loosely related note, this article in the Washington Post notes the rise of the nonbelievers' movement since 9/11.
