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.

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.

Well, I should read his book obviously but I lean to the Silverman side. After centuries of having your identity codified by a powerful religious hegemon it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the unbeliever feels compelled to raise their voice in their critique of religious identity.

It doesn't surprise. And this is the argument against 'tone policing' - we are the historically oppressed and we have a right to scream and shout. Yes, but other people *will* walk away and listen to someone calmer and more reasonable. I usually post this at such people.pic.twitter.com/lEqtl0qcIX

This whole emphasis on feelings seems rather counterproductive for a movement that seeks to weaken the crippling effects of negative stereotypes about women.

When applied to feminism, yes.
