I read that Christopher Hitchen’s mom committed suicide in a pact with an Orthodox Clergyman, do you think that had to do with his hate for?

I read that Christopher Hitchens’ mother committed suicide in a pact with an Orthodox clergyman. Do you think this event influenced his later views on religion, particularly his criticisms of all faiths? I believe it occurred during his teenage years.

Unlike many who “need to validate theirs” I do not assume to read minds of the dead let alone the living.

His mother died in 1973.

He was born in 1949.

Very VERY simple math shows he was 24, not a teenager.

Hitchens doesn’t hate all religions, he just criticized the actions and dogma of monotheisms, saying they are  “the main source of hatred in the world”,

Nothing to do with her sons.

Suicide leads to hell, evidently, they chose the path to hell, rather than the path to heaven!
