New Atheism a front for Zionism?

Militant atheism has been around since the Great French Revolution of 1789. The New Atheism is clearly nothing more than a front for militant Zionism. No honest socialist-even if a convinced atheist- will sympathize with this deranged and decadent bunch. They have been accurately described as Islamophobes.

A non-religious socialist will find more inspiration and instruction in a long forgotten book written by that incorrigible atheist and REVOLUTIONARY– Vladimir Lenn, the leader of Russia's Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.  Like Marx Lenin believed that the only cure for religious confusion was a rational social order.

Any honest socialist will oppose Zionism and support the oppressed and downtrodden in every country. The world's Muslims present a truer picture of oppression than comfortable middle class Jews in a nuclear armed and belligerent Zionist Israel.

If Democratic politicians have any sense, they will not be there in the Congress to welcome the prime minister of Israel– war criminal Netanyahu in early March. Nor will they welcome the Catholic Pope unless he too is personally welcomed by the White House first.

Let the Ayn Rand Republicans greet  Mr. Netanyahu. Ayn Rand was a rabid fan of Israel too. So is the Ayn Rand Institute. Ayn was buried under the floral design of a dollar sign. A fitting symbol for global capitalism.

Does Godlessness lead to "The Virtue of Selfishness"?

I want to thank my good HUMANIST friend ( and Lovecraft Pal ) Herb Marshall for directing me here. As a long time SOCIALIST I am wary of this NEW ATHEISM which is not only rude but right-wing reactionary - in the vile tradition of Ayn Rand, the crackpot atheist who worshipped MONEY. What does her book "The Virtue of Selfishness" say to oppressed and exploited black Americans?

Don't pretend that mere atheism rises above the class struggle with a wink of approval at the educated (atheist?) elite. And a look of contempt for poor, unenlightened masses. Would the New Atheists have invited Ayn Rand for tea and sent the religious Martin Luther King out as her chauffeur?

Sometimes I suspect New Atheists are funded by the FBI to serve as agents of Islam-o-phobia. No?

Does reason & logic apply to this sick and irrational capitalist system? The Providence Journal just published my letter : "Wary of the New Atheism" (Dec. 4, 2014.) ALL comments are welcome.
