Admitting You're a Sinner

[DLJ]

...
This brings up a complaint about the New Atheist movement (an ideology) which seeks to aggressively eliminate religion (of any kind) and replace it with 'scientific reasoning'. Since scientific reasoning does not meet all the needs of people (as you are discussing), this is a dangerous ideology. If you create a climate where all religions are rejected, a significant part of the population is going to be left with a void they are going to struggle to fill. What is going to be the effect? I was reading last year that social scientists recognize this problem but are drowned out by the New Atheist ideology--which is like an exact mirror image of religious fundamentalists in its behavior.

Could you please elaborate on this New Atheist ideology? It's not something with which I am familiar. Thanks.

'Scientific reasoning' would be the replacement (upgrade?) for failed epistemology. Namely, the big four:
Faith, Authority, Revelation and Tradition.

Easier abbreviation to remember... it equals hot air.

There are other aspects to religion that can be salvaged. Casting aside Divinity Ethics would leave Community Ethics (unless you go for US-style prosperity-gospel stuff which is more aligned to Autonomy Ethics).

Divinity Ethics sans anything supernatural leaves ideology. But I'm not seeing anything 'sacred' coming from atheists in general.
