Subject: RE: BS: Militant atheism has become a religion p
well , laura Keynes obviously thought there is such a thing, and of course I agree with her. and with a little attention to the quote, you will observe that it is not a blind unreasoned faith but a reasonable faith adopted after examining the arguments.
atheism, on the other hand is an unreasonable faith whose professors prefer to believe concepts that, so far, are demonstrably impossible at worst and fantastic at best.
the definitions of a religion include the enthusiastic adoption of a position. this may or may not include a deity. buddhism and the new atheism are examples of the latter.
mock and rage on - someone else might move toward a reasonable faith!
