From the New York Times bestselling author of American Fascists and the NBCC finalist for War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning comes this timely and compelling work about new atheists: those who attack religion to advance the worst of global capitalism, intolerance and imperial projects. Chris Hedges, who graduated from seminary at Harvard Divinity School, has long been a courageous voice in a world where there are too few. He observes that there are two radical, polarized and dangerous sides to the debate on faith and religion in America: the fundamentalists who see religious faith as their prerogative, and the new atheists who brand all religious belief as irrational and dangerous. Both sides use faith to promote a radical agenda, while the religious majority, those with a commitment to tolerance and compassion as well as to their faith, are caught in the middle. The new atheists, led by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris, do not make moral arguments about religion. Rather, they have created a new form of fundamentalism that attempts to permeate society with ideas about our own moral superiority and the omnipotence of human reason. I Don't Believe in Atheists critiques the radical mindset that rages against religion and faith. Hedges identifies the pillars of the new atheist belief system, revealing that the stringent rules and rigid traditions in place are as strict as those of any religious practice. Hedges claims that those who have placed blind faith in the morally neutral disciplines of reason and science create idols in their own image -- a sin for either side of the spectrum. He makes an impassioned, intelligent case against religious and secular fundamentalism, which seeks to divide the world into those worthy of moral and intellectual consideration and those who should be condemned, silenced and eradicated. Hedges shatters the new atheists' assault against religion in America, and in doing so, makes way for new, moderate voices to join the debate. This is a book that must be read to understand the state of the battle about faith.
Well, he would say that wouldn't he? I don't think Harvard Divinity (how is that even a subject?) school is the best place to learn logic. Faith is, by definition, belief without evidence. And that's just stupid.
I recommend Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris to immunize you against this rubbish.

Hey BOZOfan
You should change your name to BOZOfan since you're a fan of the three biggest non-thinkers and bozos of them all. I don't know where you get your definition from, but you need to spend more time reading if this is what you believe. Actually, your definition of faith fits perfectly well with your evolution religion. You believe something that is a proven fairytale for dummies, non-thinkers, and science haters. Science by definition means knowledge derived through the sense, through observation and experimentation. Which part of this fits with evolution? You can’t observe it and you can’t test it. You can only believe it. There is not one shred of evidence to support it, so that is not even faith, that’s a delusion and simply fiction.
Now, let me correct you on your definition of Biblical faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Notice you have evidence, but not the end product itself. We have evidence, not proof for what we believe. If you don’t know the difference between evidence and proof, again, read more books of value instead of listening to the three stooges you mentioned. Here is an example of the faith and logic of a Christian compared with an evolutionist/atheist: If a Christian just arrived on a deserted island and saw what appeared to be human footprints on the beach, he would logically conclude that the island was not deserted and that there was at least one human on it. On the other hand, an evolutionist/atheist would conclude that the footprints were either caused by erosion or that there was an animal with human feet that caused the footprints. Check out the incoherent, illogical arguments, and lack of scientific reasoning offered by evolutionist and see if I am wrong.
Now, try Hitchens, Harris, and DUH-kins? DUH-kins is perhaps the dullest so-called scientist on planet Earth. He should have his PhD revoked or recalled. He knows nothing at all about Biology. He simply makes up stuff and no one argues with him since he is defending his religion.
Get on the side of true science, logic, and reasoning and leave your evolution religion of nonsense alone. Evolutionists and atheists don't believe in Science, so get with it!

hey Tamarind777
i really have no desire to argue on tpb but i just wanted to say that you must legally retarded.
just so you know the process of evolution (speciation specifically) has been observed in the wild. just because you dont understand evolution and know nothing about it doenst mean it isnt true. youre right there is not one shred of evidence to support it, there is actually a mountain of evidence supporting it that you deny exists.

Let's get back to true science! When scientists said the earth is flat! Man will die if he goes faster than sound. The sun revolves around the earth and so on. Believing anything said by man is true and fact is in fact a fool!
