Evolution And The New Atheist’s Campaign of Hate

By Malgwyn | February 15, 2009

Why the New Atheist’s Campaign of Hate towards religion - but specifically Christianity? This essay by Albert Mohler from 2006 appraises the rise of the New Atheism as reported by Gary Wolf in Wired Magazine. Says Mohler, “At the beginning of his article, he gets right to the point: “The New Atheists will not let us off the hook simply because we are not doctrinaire believers. They condemn not just belief in God but respect for belief in God. Religion is not only wrong; it’s evil. Now that the battle has been joined, there’s no excuse for shirking.”
“Unlike many journalists, Wolf understands what makes Dawkins unique. It is not so much that Dawkins is attempting to convince believers that they should no longer believe in God. To the contrary, Dawkins is attempting a very different cultural and political move. He wants to make respect for belief in God socially unacceptable.”
“For a man who is supposedly an exemplar of the humble discipline of science, Dawkins is capable of breathtaking condescension. Consider these words: “Highly intelligent people are mostly atheists . . . . Not a single member of either house of Congress admits to being an atheist. It just doesn’t add up. Either they’re stupid, or they’re lying. And have they got a motive for lying? Of course they’ve got a motive! Everyone knows that an atheist can’t get elected.”
Note his argument carefully–highly intelligent people are most likely to be atheists.”
