“The
vocal fervour of today’s missionary atheism conceals a panic that
religion is not only refusing to decline – but in fact flourishing”
“Evangelical
atheists at the present time are missionaries for their own values.
If an earlier generation promoted the racial prejudices of their time
as scientific truths, ours aims to give the illusions of contemporary
liberalism a similar basis in science. It’s possible to envision
different varieties of atheism developing – atheisms more like
those of Freud, which didn’t replace God with a flattering image of
humanity. But atheisms of this kind are unlikely to be popular. More
than anything else, our unbelievers seek relief from the panic that
grips them when they realise their values are rejected by much of
humankind. What today’s freethinkers want is freedom from doubt,
and the prevailing version of atheism is well suited to give it to
them.”
Or,
to put it another way - what brand of non-religion are you selling?
