Making sure I was hallucinating, I went home after Mass and looked it up in my copy of Deathly Hallows. This is what I found...

*shrug* Mr. Hitchens (as well as some extreme Christian organizations) may ignore the moral center of Harry Potter, but I won't.

in the article he said two of the main characters aka hermione and harry didn't know what the two verses meant because both of the sayings that they read in the graveyard are in the bible. so he said that it was a clear sign that harry or hermione hadn't read the bible because they didn't recognize the bible verses.

i'm still confused about how he's supposed to be hermione's man? i don't remember anything about him liking hermione in the article.
