I see nothing wrong with militant atheism. IMHO people are entitled to their opinions.

The article simply makes the point that some militant atheists have become dogmatic. I certainly think that Mr. Dawkins has dogma and I think I have seen some of that dogma has spread to this forum. I am not even saying that having dogma is a bad thing. I gladly defend Mr. Dawkins right to his dogma even though I agree with almost none of it and I certainly dislike his approach.

What puzzles me is the denial that the dogma the defense by Mr Shaw and others, with arguments similar to "there is no atheist dogma" (even though both Dawkins and Shaw are not atheists by their own definitions), It all science and reason blah blah blah.

I say that in the very interesting article at the beginning of this thread that equally disses Christian and Atheist dogma, written by the atheist Frans de Waal, the point is well made that militant atheists have dogma. But I think it falls far short of making the case that militant atheism is a religion.
