Faith, Reason, and Theology: Richard Dawkins and Alex O'Connor in Conver...

What is ironic about the charlatan style evangelism of the New Atheism is that it imagines by its God-hating, Christianity smearing ( MAKE A BUCK ! ) road shows , it can help bring on a new Age of Enlightenment without challenging equally IRRATIONAL but more EVIL American capitalism, British, French , global capitalism, modern colonialism, imperialism, and Israeli Zionism . What it does seem to be doing is rallying petty bourgeois pseudo intellectuals, invariably detached from the working class, for a plutocrat " elite " fascist future . As a long time independent democratic socialist ( not the " village atheist " crank ) I think that that biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not COMMUNISM -SOCIALISM but making the state an " officially atheist " tyranny , turning off decent working class CHRISTIANS and MUSLIMS , and religious Jews , on all continents. Check out the politics of the New Atheism cult . They shamelessly defend everything rotten in our " civilization " : CAPITALISM, MILITARISM, and ISRAEL ZIONISM. They are not even a strong , collective voice for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. I give you the example of top atheist, ex-Trotskyist , all alcoholic Christopher Hitchens , author of the cult's classic " God Is Not Great - how religion poisons everything "
