Lets NOT take a step back and criticize ourselves.
Lets NOT take a step back and criticize ourselves.

A common cry in response to 'new atheists' is to say "atheism - you're doing it wrong". It might be from well meaning people, it might be from 'concern trolls' - but the fundamental flaw in this claim is to assume there is a common goal in the first place.

Sure there are things most atheists would like to see - less privilege within secular spaces for religion, curtailing the behaviour of abusive practices, or even just support for people facing difficulties. But even with these 'most common' objectives it's by no means clear there is a 'best way' to treat those concerns, and even if there were it wouldn't apply to all situations.

From the critics of Dawkins, Hitchens et al (the likes of Eagleton, Armstrong, etc) claiming that their books don't address the more nuanced, academic theologies, to folks here claiming that if only we were nicer, less snotty and more respectful we would 'make progress'. There seems a very common desire by people opposing the atheist 'agenda' to tell us how to 'do atheism'.

Perhaps I dislike this as a response to being told I have some straw man agenda in the first place, (I usually don't do 'agendas') - but above all I'm an empiricist, if you are going to claim that there's a best way to do atheism, you better have the stats to show how your methods lead to success and that behaviours you claim are damaging actually prevents desirable outcomes. And these critics never seem to have these figures, they often don't even have a defined desirable outcome.

Otherwise, hey let's have the conversations we want to have, and not worry if they are somehow 'counter productive', let's have them for no other reason than the joy of discussing stuff that interests us. Let's not worry if it doesn't meet someone else's definition of what a lack of belief means.

This isn't really a 'who has the best rhetoric' contest. Sure, if those conversations influence people and effect real change, that's a bonus

Peter O'Hara Midwest Humanists talks about problems with The Blasphemy Law in Ireland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the Republic of Ireland, blasphemy is required to be prohibited by Article 40.6.1.i. of the 1937 Constitution. The common law offence of blasphemous libel was effectively replaced in 2009 by a new offence of "publication or utterance of blasphemous matter". The continued existence of a blasphemy offence is controversial, with proponents of freedom of speech and freedom of religion arguing it should be removed. The 1996 report of the Oireachtas Constitution Review Group agreed that "The retention of the present constitutional offence of blasphemy is not appropriate." The Defamation Act 2009 (introduced as the Defamation Bill 2006) implemented many of the recommendations of the Commission's 1991 report. Originally, it omitted reference to blasphemy, pending a review by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on the Constitution. In March 2008, Brian Lenihan, then Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, said: In England and Wales blasphemy traditionally only consisted in the scandalising of the established church. It is probably the case in Ireland, with the enactment of the Article 44 provision in 1937, that blasphemy was extended to cover all of the denominations recognised in the Constitution and that in 1972 it passed into a stage where it extended itself to all theistic religions, since all theistic religions are honoured by the Constitution <b>...</b>

Malaysian muslim clerics, Sky News
 29 July 2010 | 3:43 am

[Background: Manchester United Football Club has a devil as its logo]

Manchester United shirts have been banned in Malaysia after the red devil crest was labelled "dangerous and un-Islamic".

Thousands of fans have reacted angrily to the decision by Muslim clerics - with some accusing them of supporting Premier League arch-rivals Liverpool.

Despite the Old Trafford side having an estimated 81 million followers in Asia, one senior cleric said: "You are only promoting the devil."

"This is very dangerous. As a Muslim we should not worship the symbols of other religions or the devils," another added.

"It will erode our belief in Islam. There is no reason why we as Muslims should wear such jerseys, either for sports or fashion reasons."

West Australian Liberal MP Don Randall is under fire over comments he made about Julia Gillard's religious views.

The member for Canning says many people in his electorate and across the country do not like the fact Ms Gillard is an atheist.

...

"It's a criticism of the fact that the electorate has deep concerns about an un-godly leader leading Australia," he said.

Mr Randall says Australia was built on Christian values, which provide the basis for being a better leader.

"We expect out leaders to convey and portray good Christian values," he said.

Well, the secular world is catching up to what the Bible has taught all along. At our student assemblies over the years, I have often taught children the answer to this chicken and egg problem this way:

“What came first: the chicken or the egg? Well the Bible teaches us that God made the flying creatures on day five of creation, and God told the animals to be fruitful and multiply. So obviously the chicken (a bird) came first, and then they laid eggs.” So the kids would learn it this way, “The chicken came first because God made the birds on day five of the creation week!”

Of course there is also the design issue, which is also alluded to in the article. All the parts/chemicals etc. have to be there for the egg-laying system to work in the first place—it certainly couldn’t evolve.

Conservatives Allow The Line Between Church And State Become Even Blurrier
30 July 2010 | 12:16 am
excerpt: ...Many percolating issues suggest religious influence is gaining traction in policy. The funding cut for feminist advocacy groups, unusual government stimulus spending on faith-based colleges, gay pride parade cutbacks and the abortion controversy had their genesis this year. McDonald argues the important wall between religion and federal politics has become so porous it’s crumbling. If this budding culture war flattens the Liberals in the next election, perhaps her book is a glimpse at the operating manual of a majority Conservative government.
Perth’s Catholic Archbishop stirs fears about atheism
29 July 2010 | 11:53 pm
The archbishop told The Australian he had not meant to imply people should not vote for the Prime Minister - a self-professed atheist - and was simply “sounding a caution” about the rise of secularism in politics. “I had no intention of attacking Julia Gillard at all. My point was the future, not the present - that if the people who don’t subscribe to any religion get stronger, we might have a repeat of what happened in Europe, where the church was sidelined,” he said. [The archbishop had previously published an op-ed in which he] said many Christians were concerned “someone who does not believe in God may not endorse the Christian traditions of respect for human life, for the sanctity of marriage and the independence of churches.”
A Reality Show Where Islam Is the Biggest Star
29 July 2010 | 5:33 am
excerpt: Before each episode, the contestants have gathered to recite a prayer, while the challenges they are judged on have included washing corpses in preparation for burial and ensuring that animals are slaughtered according to Islamic principles. The prize pool, too, offers a clear indication of the detour the show takes from the usual reality show script. Cash and a new car are up for grabs, but the winner will also be offered a job as an imam, or religious leader, a scholarship to study in Saudi Arabia and an all-expenses-paid pilgrimage to Mecca, Islam’s holiest city. ...Some political commentators say the show’s popularity reflects the increasing Islamization of this Muslim-majority nation of 26 million.
