Failing that, they could read my thing about how your approach differs from angry anti-theism. http://helenpluckroseblogs.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/the-conflicting-approaches-of-david.html …

I appreciate your effort here to temper atheist indignation but it seems to me it has been institutionalised faith that’s been callng the shots regarding the identity of the unbeliever. It is the responsibility of the faithful to defend their doctrine & not the other way around.

I'm not sure how that relates.

Perhaps I misread your blogpost. I had the impression you were discussing the dialectic between religionists & atheists & how both succumb to a tribally identified dogma.

You can read it and discover it's a comparison of two different arguments about atheism and dealing with religion in society by atheists or you can not. Your call.

Right. And your conclusion seemed to accept the argument from the side that seemed to say, from my reading, that the atheist owes the religionist a fair hearing of their beliefs. An argument I hear all the time & do not support. Just saying.

That isn't even close to the argument. Nor did I say anything which could give that impression.

But I guess this is the wrong impression despite having read your piece. I understand I’m coming from outside the realm of academia, a realm of collective institutional prestige not unlike religion in certain respects. Thanks for engaging anyway. Just a technical observation.

It's not remotely academic. Both books are popular, easy-to-read texts aimed at the average person.
