After a 3 second search, I couldn’t find the quote, but I recently read a quote from Hitchens saying he had no political party, and was just a rationalist.
He’s said it in many ways at different times, but he seemed to characterize himself as a partisan of Enlightenment values of rationality and freedom over faith and force.
“I’m a member of no (political) party. I have no ideology. I’m a rationalist. I do what I can in the international struggle between science and reason and the barbarism, superstition and stupidity that’s all around us.”
