"This subset of nonbelievers is overly wowed by the low bar it requires
to recognize the inadequacy of the God hypothesis. Meanwhile, in many
ways, they preserve or encourage a bounty of beliefs that are just as
oppressive and pernicious."
Ironically, I clearly see some bias, blindness and ignorance from the author of this article. Frankly, anyone who uses the term "scientism", as well as criticizes the "Three Horsemen" of "New Atheism" and Ayaan Hirsi Ali with a broad brush, has lost the argument with me, even if there are some valid points, as there are here. What are those "valid points?" Many atheists are narrowly focused on such and really are not critical, science-based thinkers globally, including the author of this article.

Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
