    Militant atheism is when you prefer the religion of your birth nation.

      The clip was uploaded Yesterday, and boy howdy does he say '"I'm a white supremacist" and "I'm a fascist" in it like 8 times in as many different ways.

      For one he embraces white European identity as "superior" to anything else. Then he rejects the old guard of that identity "I would be happy if ever cathedral and parish hall was gone tomorrow". Then spends the rest of it trying to weasel word a justification of "White Christianity" as a progressive force with "women and homosexuals" just straight up ignoring the fact that this is absolutely not true and in fact the opposite of what they believe.

      His double standard is pretty clear when he even acknowledges that Christianity and the Bible are not inherently good on the subject of women's rights and gay rights, but "specific Christians are better". Then immediately turns around and draws conclusions and Islam and all Muslims because he think the Quran is somehow worse.

        I mean Dawkins is shown in liberal media as paragon of atheism (together with Hitchens), so i would assume lib media would make an april's fools joke about him being christian. On the other hand, Norton is absolutely correct about him in his comment, so it might just be true because as i said Dawkins is not an atheist but agnostic and as a lib is fully expected to abandon his faux values to stand on his real ones that is white supremacy.

      (a)gnosticism and (a)theism are separate axes, there are virtually zero atheists who claim certainty of knowledge. You've misunderstood something along the way here.

        What do you even mean, my point is that Dawkins is taken by libs as paragon of atheism but he's not even an atheist, his book reeks of spiritual search and neophyte zeal typical of agnostics in the process of finding his new opium (and that Norton is 100% correct here)

          no part of being atheist or theist requires thinking you have knowledge. If you're using the god delusion to say dawkins doesn't count as an atheist, you're saying there are no atheists at all because none of us have the hubris to claim we know for sure.

          there are gnostic and agnostic theists, there are agnostic atheists, and out of all the people who have ever lived you could probably fit the gnostic atheists on a single bus.

              I think, in the context of arguing a point along the lines of "This person is actually Y, not X!", it makes a fair amount of sense to nitpick about definitions, especially if your claim lies in assuming that Y and X are mutually exclusive.

              I know several Christian atheists. They study the Bible as a work of fiction and participate in Christian ceremonies and gatherings. They just don’t believe god literally exists.

          you can't prove a negative. it's intellectually irresponsible to say or believe that you know with 100% certainty that "god" or bigfoot or whatever doesn't exist, in a mirror of the way that weird christians will claim to know that god talks to them.

    Can he culturally come out as dead? That would be cool.

    I'm sick of how these "atheist" types are only capable of hating one god. I thought y'all were mad at all gods. I thought thats why you decided to be atheist instead of anti Christian or anti whatever.

      christians and muslims are worshiping the same god though so it's even dumber for an atheist to care much one way or the other. it'd be like being an atheist with very strong opinions about which is the better of roman catholicism and protestantism. like damn, from where I'm sitting those may as well be the same thing.
