DIGGING
BENEATH
SIMPLISTIC
SCIENCE
VS.
RELIGION
DICHOTOMIES, THIS BOOK
AIMS TO UNCOVER THE TRUE
REASONS
FOR THE NATURE AND RISE OF SO-CALLED NEW
ATHEISM.
ARGUING
THAT WE MUST LOOK TO RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM AND
ITS
VALUES AS
WELL
AS TO THE GENERAL POSTMODERN ONSLAUGHT ON RATIONALITY,
STEPHEN
LEDREW S
THE
EVOLUTION
OF
ATHEISM
MAKES
A STRONG
CASE
THAT
WE MUST
CAST
BROADLY INTO TODAY S CULTURE
IF
WE ARE TO UNDERSTAND THE
STAGGERING
SUCCESS
OF THE WORKS OF RICHARD DAWKINS AND OTHERS. THIS IS A
VERY
IMPORTANT BOOK THAT BRINGS MANY FRESH INSIGHTS TO ITS TOPIC.
*MICHAE L
RUSE,
AUTHOR OF ATHEISM: WHAT
EVERYONE
NEEDS TO KNOW
THIS
IS A VERY GOOD, IMPORTANT, AND
READABLE
BOOK THAT
MAKES
A VALUABLE
CONTRIBUTION
TO OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEW
ATHEISM,
IN PART BY
CALLING
ATHEISM OUT AS YET ANOTHER OBJECT OF STUDY AND EXPLANATION, RATHER THAN
THE
SUPPOSED
NATURAL DEFAULT POSITION OF
ALL
REASONABLE
PEOPLE.
STRIKING
A
NICE
BALANCE
OF SCHOLARLY SYMPATHY AND
CRITICAL
DISTANCE, IT PROVIDES NEW
INSIGHTS AND
MAKES
VERY INTERESTING CLAIMS ABOUT THE INTERNAL DIVERSITY
OF
THE NEW
ATHEISM.
THIS BOOK OUGHT TO GET MUCH ATTENTION AND
GENERATE
HELPFUL
DISCUSSION.
*CHRISTIA N SMITH,
AUTHOR OF
THE
SACRED
PROJECT
OF
AMERICAN
SOCIOLOGY
THE CONCEPT OF EVOLUTION
IS
WIDELY
CONSIDERED TO BE
A
FOUNDATIONAL
BUILDING
BLOCK
IN ATHEIST THOUGHT. LEADERS OF THE NEW
ATHEIST
MOVEMENT SUCH
AS
RICHARD DAWKINS
AND SAM HARRIS
HAVE
TAKEN DARWIN S
WORK
AND
USED IT TO
DIMINISH
THE AUTHORITY OF
RELIGIOUS
INSTITUTIONS
AND
BELIEF
SYSTEMS.
BUT THEY
HAVE
ALSO EMBRACED IT
AS A
METAPHOR FOR THE
GRADUAL REPLACEMENT OF
RELIGIOUS
FAITH
WITH
SECULAR
REASON.
THEY
HAVE
POSED
AS
HARBINGERS
OF
HUMAN PROGRESS,
CLAIMING
THE MORAL
HIGH
GROUND,
AND REJECTING
WITH
INTOLERANCE ANY
MESSAGE
THAT CHALLENGES THE HEGEMONY
OF
SCIENCE
AND
REASON.
RELIGION,
ACCORDING TO
THE
NEW
ATHEISTS, SHOULD BE RELEGATED TO THE DARK
AGES OF SUPERSTITION AND
SENSELESS
VIOLENCE.
YET
DARWIN
DID NOT
SEE
EVOLUTION
AS A
LINEAR
PROGRESSION TO
AN
IMPROVED
STATE
OF
BEING.
THE MORE ANTAGONISTIC MEMBERS OF
THE NEW ATHEIST MOVEMENT WHO
EMBRACE
THIS
IDEA ARE NOT
ONLY
EMPLOYING
BAD HISTORY,
BUT
ALSO THE
KIND
OF
RIGID,
BLACK-AND-WHITE
THINKING
THEY EXCORIATE IN THEIR RELIGIOUS
OPPONENTS. INDEED, STEPHEN LEDREW
ARGUES,
MILITANT
ATHEISTS HAVE
MORE IN COMMON
WITH
RELIGIOUS
FUNDAMENTALISTS THAN THEY
WOULD
CARE
TO ADMIT, ADVANCING WHAT LEDREW CALLS
SECULAR FUNDAMENTALISM. IN REACTION
TO
FUNDAMENTALIST
CHRISTIANITY
AND ISLAMISM,
THIS
STRAIN OF ATHEISM HAS BECOME
AN
OFFSHOOT
OF
THE
RELIGION
IT TRIES SO HARD TO MALIGN.
THE
EVOLUTION
OF
ATHEISM OUTLINES THE
ESSENTIAL
POLITICAL
TENSION
AT
THE HEART OF
THE ATHEIST MOVEMENT. THE NEW
ATHEISM,
LEDREW
SHOWS, IS PART OF
A
TRADITION
OF
ATHEIST THOUGHT AND ACTIVISM THAT PROMOTES
INDIVIDUALISM
AND SCIENTIFIC AUTHORITY,
WHICH
PUTS IT AT
ODDS
WITH
ATHEIST GROUPS THAT ARE
MOTIVATED
BY HUMANISTIC ETHICS AND SOCIAL
JUSTICE.
LEDREW DRAWS ON PUBLIC RELATIONS
CAMPAIGNS, PUBLICATIONS,
PODCASTS,
AND
IN-
DEPTH INTERVIEWS TO EXPLORE THE
BELIEF
SYSTEMS,
INTERNAL
LOGICS,
AND SELF-CONTRADICTIONS OF THE
PEOPLE WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE ATHEISTS.
HE
ARGUES
THAT
EVOLVING
UNDERSTANDINGS
OF
WHAT ATHEISM
MEANS,
AND HOW IT SHOULD
BE PUT INTO ACTION, ARE THREATENING TO
IRREVOCABLY
FRAGMENT THE MOVEMENT.
STEPHE N
LEDREW
IS A POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
AT THE CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF
RELIGION
AND SOCIETY AT UPPSALA
UNIVERSITY.
