Sadly, it looks like Sam Harris and Michael Shermer approvingly re-tweeted the same piece. What to make of it? Does "New Atheism" + "a science of morality" = alliance to Western imperialism and the mass surveillance state? I can only hope that Dan Dennett, who once described himself as an "ACLU liberal," and other like-minded atheists, push back against this deplorable trend that apparently didn't die with Hitchens.
