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.

The argument that we need to have a better grasp of the psychological basis for the religionist’s faith is well & good but some of us, in the laity, are tired of making the effort & don’t see why we shouldn’t enjoy the same glib & overweening sense of self-identified purpose.

Same as with all social justice issues. Depends if you want to actually address inequalities strategically and reasonably or if you want to form a tribe and shriek at your oppressors.

Often just engaging a different point of view is enough to be accused of shrieking. I feel like the religionist is given an unfair institutional adavantage over the unbeliever. This may not apply in the micro, perhaps, because individuals have different motives. But in the macro

They are. There are a number of ways to address this. I compared two.

Right. I thought one was better than the other.
