Here's something secular humanists really need to think about as they parade Dawkins and Hitchens around as "humanists." This is a far more humanist view on religion, atheism, and liberalism than either of those two can ever offer our movement. And yes, this guy IS an atheist.. of the most sincere kind... a Marxist a...theist!

Point of Inquiry
New Point of Inquiry -- Chris Mooney on scientific illiteracy and the New Atheists: He shares his criticisms of the New Atheists and explains why their attacks against religious moderates work counter to the goal of scientific literacy. He recounts his experiences as an atheist activist while in college, and how his vi...ews have changed about campus freethought activism since that time.
He explores other underlying causes of scientific illiteracy, including our educational system, the media's dysfunctional treatment of science, and growing anti-science movements such as the climate deniers and vaccine skeptics. And he details concrete actions that science advocates can take in order to increase scientific literacy.

Maughn Rollins Gregory Happy paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th) day! Why don’t we, the skeptical community, make every Friday the 13th a holiday for skepticism? We could stage some public anti-superstition demonstrations like walking under ladders, breaking mirrors, inviting the evil eye, and othewise making fun of ghosts, ang...els, devils, crystals, UFOs, divining rods, amulets, crop circles, Big Foot, etc. - whatever is locally relevant for us. Is anyone already doing this?
