Why Spinoza Still Matters

"Spinoza’s views on God, religion and society have lost none of their relevance. At a time when Americans seem willing to bargain away their freedoms for security, when politicians talk of banning people of a certain faith from our shores, and when religious zealotry exercises greater influence on matters of law and public policy, Spinoza’s philosophy – especially his defence of democracy, liberty, secularity and toleration – has never been more timely."

Proof that there is no such thing as the "New Atheists", as we have been saying the same things for a very long time.

Spinoza’s philosophy is founded upon a rejection of the God that informs the Abrahamic religions.
