But do they see 'Reformation' in these terms? I think they want to reform it ethically, not doctrinally.https://twitter.com/christianjbdev/status/923178425933643776 …

Ayaan's book contains list of quite radical reforms she'd like to make to Islam. At least, many muslims wld consider them so.

Yes, OK. These certainly impact on doctrine - eg stop regarding Muhammad as perfect - but mostly they're ethical.

And I don't think she defines the New Atheist attitude towards to the Reformation anyway.

Well, you feel slighted perhaps cos you see New Atheists as your tribe, but I think the piece contains some interesting criticism.

OK, but evidence would be better than interestingness or perceptions of my feelings on the matter. It doesn't ring true to me at all.

I gave you evidence, which you then dismissed as not really representative of New Atheists.

And I'm not really interested in arguing that point, cos it becomes a tribal thing. Enough that some ppl have a distorted view of history.

Well, we can agree on that. Way too many. Including New Atheists. I just don't think they have a romantic idea of the Reformation.

And the title is 'New Atheists getting history wrong' so it is that I'm addressing. If it were 'People getting history wrong' no problem.

Or even if it were New Atheists getting other ideas of history wrong. I've argued with some who thought Catholicism killed blasphemers.
