Peter Hitchens
He'd probably be of more interest to Brits than to Americans and others, but I have to recommend Peter Hitchens as one of the most thoughtful and sensible journalists around today. His columns and articles are well worth a read.
He has also written some very interesting books, such as The Abolition of Britain and The Cameron Delusion. He also wrote a work criticising the New Atheists, such as his brother, Christopher Hitchens. It was called The Rage Against God, can't say that I have read it though. Peter Hitchens is insightful in many areas, and has written interesting pieces of the aesthetics of Anglican worship (which it might be good to look at more deeply in the religious forum at one point - at the moment I have been very busy and no time to post on more in depth topics), but his religious thought is not strong point, in my opinion.

Re: Peter Hitchens
Here is an example of Hitchens's usua good form, and also of his writing on religion, where he takes his usual fideist and almost instrumentalist line, which I think leaves much to be desired of
course (though if one reads the arguments of his irreligious commentators, it makes Richard Dawkins seem well-informed about religion and philosophy) :
