I longed to produce a large article about why there is not much different between evangelistic christianity and evangelistic atheism. Well, John Gray has done it better than I could have ever hoped for in an article for the guardian. It is incredibly long, but I read all of it, so you should take time to sit and read it. If one is even reading this blog then there is probably and interest in this subject, and seeing how I am sure there are more atheist readers, I think a critical view of this type of atheism is important. The only critique I have is in the closing paragraphs of the article. After pointing out that atheism can claim acts of immoral atrocities, he then states briefly how religion is still bad (or really implies it). I would just like to point out that there is a difference in the doctrines that I believe make up my faith, and how people who have stolen the name of my faith act. But I guess that can be a subject for a later post. You have a lot of reading to do in that article, so get to it.
