Is Richard Dawkins what you call an Atheist Supremacist? He looks like a very religious man to me. Or he looks like Don Siegelman. He thinks Harry Potter is anti-scientific too. Well, duh. I hope he got paid a lot of money to arrive at that revelation.

Bruce Sheiman, author of An Atheist Defends Religion, maintains that humanity is better off with it than without it. Although a recent Religion News Service classifies me and my book The Secular Conscience among the 3.0s, I have to say that I'm not all that happy with the taxonomy.

The pertinent question is not whether we are we better off with or without religion, but whether religion matters quite as much as either answer would have us suppose. To take this stance is neither to correct atheism nor to reject religion. It is to change the subject to secularism.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://richarddawkins.net/article,4542,The-secularist-case-against-Atheism-30,Austin-Dacey---The-Washington-Post">Continue reading
