The books of Jonathan Haidt, Steven Pinker, Matt Ridley, Frans de Waal and others are the future of skeptical atheism.
Its just the disbelief in gods. You're more in line with Silverman here than Lindsay.

Silverman is a clear anti-theists just like Dawkins. I do not agree with their narrow view of religion as demonic (pun intended)
-
He's also a tribalist. I was comparing you to him in that way.
-
Real tribalism is the silence from the atheist community towards the New Atheists. Group-think above principle.
-
What silence? What community? Some atheists like 'New Atheists' & some don't.I do. We don't share a belief system or tenets.
-
Obviously atheists and "New Atheists" share the same belief (their disbelief) but are not the same (see my house parallel).
-
You don't think a lack of faith and an opposition to faith are the same and neither do I. So what are we arguing about?
-
Why are they both called atheism? Dawkins is called an atheist, not an anti-theist while the latter is more correct.
-
You do not think this correctness is important while in real life it does. The most vocal determines the label & that's Dawkins.
