In reply to the discussion: Why I am Not an Atheist: Better Apathetic Godlessness than Illiberal Scientism [View all]longship
(40,416 posts)I knew at that point, there is nothing of value here. Just another cartoon rendering of today's atheist movement; stick to stereotypes and one cannot go wrong, apparently.
Blecch!
On edit: the new atheist movement is doing just fine. There is all sorts of outreach and not all the publicity is this cartoonish characterization. And lumping Dennett together with the other Horsemen? Has this guy even read Dennett? How can you malign a guy who even looks like Santa Claus?
(N.B. the guy did not single him out, but he did group him with Dawkins and Harris, three entirely different takes on atheism.)
I think the new atheism is doing just fine.
As usual, rug, you bring interesting things for discussion. Keep it up.
even if I disagree, it is good to know what folks are saying/writing.
