Fantastic journalist - a bit up his own arse, but never anything less than thoroughly entertaining. Asked some very, very difficult questions at times - and had an uncanny ability to cut through bullshit. Kind of killed himself with the fags, so difficult to feel that sorry for him.

Yep, that's pretty much my view.
Does he or atheists in general expect to RIP? If so where and with whom?
As an atheist myself I will remember him with appreciation for his works.
As an Atheist my dad told me to read RIP as Return If Possible : - )
Hated by many for his intelligence and logic which dismantled their cherished ideological (often fashionable) positions they had often carefully memorised from the usual sources....a great loss.
“Do I fear death? No, I am not afraid of being dead because there's nothing to be afraid of, I won't know it. I fear dying, of dying I feel a sense of waste about it and I fear a sordid death, where I am incapacitated or imbecilic at the end which isn't something to be afraid of, it's something to be terrified of.”
I'm sort of pleased that this bit worked out OK for him. I will very much miss his fierce and challenging intellect.
