>There’s something peculiarly thick-headed about the New Atheism – the parallels between its idolatry of reason and the faith of more conventional religion have become an argumentative cliche.
I've always found the parallels and hubris of militant evangelical atheists/religionists comically ironic. Especially since hubris is the antithesis of real science.
This point reminds me of a Sagan quote:
"An atheist has to know a lot more than I know. An atheist is someone who knows there is no god. By some definitions atheism is very stupid."
