Reply to Skeptic Money

I am the Ron Ruggieri who wrote the letter published in the Providence Journal : "Wary of the New Atheism."

As a SOCIALIST HUMANIST I ask you how you apply Logic & Reason to this very irrational and very unjust capitalist society. But I guess I  already have the answer here: "How science and reason can help you make money and reduce risk."

It seems to me that there is a clear divide here between RIGHT WING ATHEISM and LEFT WING ATHEISM. I am neither a convinced atheist nor a dogmatic Marxist. But Marx was clearly more profound on the matter of religion than the merely cranky and "persecuted" New Atheists.

I would rather have tea with the Catholic Pope Francis than join any atheist club that would embrace the likes of Ayn Rand.

To be sure, the New Atheism is not above the CLASS STRUGGLE. And I now wonder if it serves the U.S. war machine in spreading pernicious Islam-o-phobia.

I would appreciate a civil dialogue here– the least I can expect from such formidable FREE THINKERS.

THANK YOU
