“Atheism is in trouble. You can tell because its most eloquent spokesmen are receiving icily critical reviews in the very mainstream press that Christians often dismiss for liberal bias.”
“You can also tell that atheism is in trouble because it is becoming increasingly intolerant.”
“The New Intolerance. Fear mongering among elite atheists is not a pretty site,” says C.T. This was published back in 2007 following the publication of The God Delusion. There has been quite a bit of aggression since then - but the media seems to have gone quiet on atheism’s war on Christianity. Or am I missing something? Is there a truce? Or perhaps we need to get ready for another explosion of words - or could it be that unfounded and misrepresentative literary assaults on philosophical opponents don’t show strident militant atheist academics in the best light? Has the public seen enough to see the unseemly side of intolerance?
