Albert Mohler’s review of The New Atheism is revealing and so is WorldNetDaily’s David Kupelian’s lengthy essay on “How Atheism Is Being Sold To America”. History tells us of terrible things done in the name of Christianity - but anyone who knows anything about the Christian faith will know that is a counterfeit Christianity - denounced by Jesus as well as the Apostles. The Waldensees is just one illustration of persecution by the medieval church.
When one sees how real Christianity operates as described by Matthew Parris one wonders how do ‘the new atheists’ get away with their scandalous accusations? As Kupelian reports:
“Religion - including Christianity and Judaism - is “violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism, tribalism, and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children.” At least that’s according to the No. 1 New York Times bestseller “God is Not Great: Why Religion Poisons Everything” by journalist Christopher Hitchens.
“In the news business, we often cite a nation’s current top-selling books - for example, the popularity of anti-Semitic titles in Arab countries - as evidence of the mindset of the people.
“Well, in the United States of America right now, some of the most-bought, most-read and most-discussed books are angry, in-your-face atheist manifestos.
“Besides Hitchens’ book, which has dominated nonfiction bestseller charts for months, there’s the popular “Letter to a Christian Nation” by atheist author Sam Harris, sequel to his earlier tome “The End of Faith,” and Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins’ “The God Delusion” - all New York Times bestsellers.
“Then there are other hot titles: “God: The Failed Hypothesis: How Science Shows That God Does Not Exist” by Victor J. Stenger. “Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon” by Daniel C. Dennett. “Atheist Universe: The Thinking Person’s Answer to Christian Fundamentalism” by David Mills. And so on.”
