Your thoughts on John Gray?

Seven Types of Atheism by John Gray review – fascinating study of disbelief
Quote:The British philosopher has produced a thought-provoking account of the tradition of atheism and the problems with it.
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/a...rd-harries

Seven Types of Atheism by John Gray review: entertaining but troubling
Quote:Seven Types of Atheism contains the same essential idea as Straw Dogs more than 15 years ago – and, like then, Gray skips over counter-arguments, rather than tackling them head on.

What does John Gray’s anti-atheism amount to?
Quote:He doesn’t believe unbelievers or believers. His guiding rule seems basically to ‘Keep calm and carry on’
https://www.spectator.co.uk/2018/04/what...amount-to/

Have you read his book? Do you plan on reading it?

From the Guardian review...

Quote:One of the types of atheist Gray considers he labels “God-haters”.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

To describe Grey's position best I'll use a synopsis of every article by the religion correspondent of the Grauniad, Andrew Brown, "I'm an atheist but religion, it's the best!"
