Liberal Critics of the New Atheists

Keith Parsons expresses well my opinions of those on the left that criticize Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, etc. Here's a key quote:

"If religion were always as bad as they say, then it would deserve every bit of censure they dish out, and, without question, the world would be much, much better off if we were rid of it. If it is objectionable to say that all religion is bad, then it is objectionable because it is false, not because it is rude to say so. Hence, it will not do for Linker to perch on his high horse of sensitivity and castigate the “ideological” atheists for their supposedly bad attitude; he is going to actually have to deal with their arguments."
