“Atheism
deserves better than the new atheists whose methodology consists of
criticizing religion without understanding it, quoting texts without
contexts, taking exceptions as the rule, confusing folk belief with
reflective theology, abusing, mocking, ridiculing, caricaturing, and
demonizing religious faith and holding it responsible for the great
crimes against humanity. Religion has done harm; I acknowledge that.
But the cure for bad religion is good religion, not no religion, just
as the cure for bad science is good science, not the abandonment of
science.”
Chief
Rabbi Johnathan Sacks
