<p>Former prime minister Tony Blair has said his religious beliefs did not play a role in his decision to support the US invasion of Iraq.</p>
<p>Speaking during a debate with writer Christopher Hitchens in Toronto, Canada, about the merits of religion, Mr Blair, a Catholic convert, said all his policy decisions, including supporting the Iraq war, were based on his genuine belief they were the right choices.</p>
<p>Mr Hitchens, an avowed atheist, Vanity Fair columnist and author of God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, argued that religion forced people to do unspeakable things under the guise of faith.</p>
<p>He is fighting final-stage oesophageal cancer and has refused to embrace religion despite his diagnosis.</p>
