Fundamental atheism??----Please explain!!
I'll ignore Dan accusing us of being slightly more civilized witch burners.
But Fundamentalist Atheist?
Dawkins fits the category nicely.
He admits to having had an epiphany experience when he read The Origin of Species. So there was his
conversion.
Origin' allowed him to frame his understanding of reality, therefore he has his
scripture. (The theory of evolution for him is his
Dogma).
He is zealous in his anti-Religious
evangelism.
He refers to the religious as 'Child Abusers' and calls them deluded. So he resorts to the classification of those he does not agree with just as a fundamentalist does. He uses the
language of Fundamentalism.
He says that no evolutionist or scientist can possibly truly be religious. His view of this and his faith in his own understanding is unflinching.
He is a Fundamentalist Extremist Atheist in every possible sense of the word.
There are many of his peers who recognise this - not just the religious.
