Atheism iis a religion. A beef in no god is a form of religion. Religion means "to bind and observe." A person can have an atheistic belief as they bind to the belief that there is no god. Mr. Hedges statement was not an issue directly related to atheism, but the fundamentalist ideal that can spawn from atheism. Also, as leading atheists have attested that the underlying issue with society is a systemic belief in a god, they promote a form of belief in self and environment. This was his argument. He also posed the issues with Christian fundamentalism as well.

Really?. Calling atheism a religion is like calling bald a haircut.

New Atheism is bad and this book is pretty good. This book is a pretty good critique of the “New Atheists” and their intellectually flaccid utopian delusions. As a religiously informed intellectual Hedges is well situated to extract the most insidious hypocrisies from the New Atheist framework and lay them bare. Could be a little shorter and has a tendency to repetitively compare the New Atheists with other historical dogmas with tenuous depth. Regularly invoking the horrors of Stalinism and Nazism as a singular same is both a frustrating conflation and comes of as ham fisted. Where the analysis shines is where Hedges explicated the clear and ironic parallels between New Atheism and the Evangelical Christians of Hedge’s “American Fascists.” Worth the read.

Seriously?. So this is what it's come to... "you're just like us." 😂

Atheism can't be considered religion.. This books premise is built upon nothing but a straw man argument. The author has simply set a false view of atheism so that he can then tear it down. It is an outlandish allegation to claim that atheism is a religion, as atheism does not have any of the hallmarks of religion. The fact remains that atheism has no mandatory participation for the fear of eternal banishment, it contains no beliefs of it's own, and it's proponents are all of different social and political persuasions. It is easy to link the common values of atheism's so called Four Horseman, however many atheists have differing opinions about religion, faith, science, and politics. The very definition of atheism removes it from ever being a religion, as atheism simply means to lack a belief in any deities. Atheism may be becoming more organized, but this is only in response to the common lack of belief and the need to ensure that religious belief is not forced upon others.

Atheism is a religion like bald is a hair color. Enough said
