Don’t Shout at the Telly: The New Atheism

In this Don’t Shout at the Telly, spiked editor Brendan O’Neill argues that New Atheism is far worse than the religious idea that humanity is guided by a supernatural being. Indeed, it promotes a misanthropic view of humans as little more than bundles of genes. For those who don’t believe in God, but do believe in humanity, how should we view religion? O’Neill argues for tolerance. That means we should be free to express our beliefs as we see fit, and others should be free to criticise and even ridicule those beliefs. This fast-paced conversation puts radical humanism and the need to explain what is great about human beings centre stage.
