His comments are dry, witty and cutting.&#160; His pet peeves seem to be toward religion, but he has no trouble coexisting with people with authentic faith. It&#8217;s people, who use their religion to promote bigotry and ethnocentrism that bug him. He&#8217;s an advocate for human rights of all kinds, and animal welfare.
