"While speaking out against the Christian fundamentalist movement and its political agenda, Hedges noticed another group -- this one on the left -- conspicuously allied with the neocons on the subject of America's role in world politics. The New Atheists, as they have been called, include Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins and bestselling author and journalist Christopher Hitchens -- outspoken secularists who depict religious structures and the belief in God as backward and anti-democratic." But those people (especially Harris and Hitchens) don't exhibit equal hostility to all religions. They are more hostile to one religion over others. That is not true atheism, if you ask me. (Ask me NOW). (thanks Laleh)
