And so now we get to the end of the blog. It's only appropriate that I finish this blog with another post on attitudes as that's what I did earlier. I was thinking the other day about atheist attitudes and I began to think about what I talked about earlier, demonizing.
It seems to be that in the same way that fundamentalists demonize, so do atheists. It almost seems like atheists have a fundamentalism of their own in the way they attack religion. But what is fundamentalism? The dictionary would like to define fundamentalism as "strict adherence to the fundamental principles of any set of beliefs." It would seem atheists have something like that, fundamental principals of science. The principals of science, the scientific method and skepticism, seem to be held to in a rather religious way. They use the same thing that the people they are opposing use just in a different way.
