Saw this on my FB and I thought it was written well in terms of new age
atheism.
"Neil deGrasse Tyson is a tangential member of what the media refers to as "New Atheism". He's much less condescending than Richard Dawkins, and far less of a Neo Con than Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris, but he is a part of a growing movement that's done it's part in promoting an Islamophobia that's given permission to skeptics to be amicable with a tyrannical foreign policy in the Middle East. I think Tyson is a good guy, Harris and Hitchens not so much, but they are all perpetuating misinformation about the nature of conflicts we deem the cause of to be religion, and not human nature itself. There is an arrogance and certainty among fundamentalists I find repulsive- among believers or among this new outspoken fundamental secularism that is only promoted by the mainstream media to facilitate the demonization of one fifth of the globe's population abroad while fomenting division here at home."
