I'd say in the US it's describing how people are becoming less religious. There are few organizations that advocate secularism, but for the few there are, they seem to be the movement, that and their supporters, but it's not widespread.

As for Hitchens political views, I don't agree with all of them, but thankfully he isn't the leader of a belief system I subscribe to. Certain others are currently railing against the evil of gender theory and promoting misogyny. Glad I don't have to deal with the cognitive dissonance that entails.
