In my opinion the 'militant' new atheists will work alongside the religious so long as the topic is of benefit to both groups. For example atheists working with the likes of the Rev Barry Lynn of 'Americans United for the Separation of Church and State' or working to promote good science education in schools.<br />Accomodationists, on the other hand often seek to promote (moderate!) faith itself as a positive and will disparage those who disagree with this strategy (meaning that accomodationists almost by necessity have to attack new atheists who do not see faith, moderate or extremist, as a virtue.) <br />It's not the working with the religious that new atheists object to - rather it's the working with the religious to promote religion that is the problem.Sigmundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262375488263086844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-46587388255906894412012-01-20T10:19:32.901-07:002012-01-20T10:19:32.901-07:00I agree.
