Topic: Atheist left

  
 Encyclopedia: Atheist left
Members of the atheist left are often those leftists who see organized religion as a tool of the establishment, created for the purpose of "keeping people in check".
The atheist left is an intersection between atheist beliefs about religion and left-wing political views.
This view contrasts the atheist left with the religious left, which holds that religion (and Christianity in particular) is inherently egalitarian and opposed to the capitalist establishment.

This does not mean that in every circumstance atheists will choose the more ethical course of action than the Theist (sometimes recieved wisdom gets lucky, while rational scrutiny manages to overlook something), but it does mean that over time the secular morality kit will have the superior hit or miss ratio.
The support for Terri seems to be overwhelmingly religious (although my hasty search did not reveal any support from the religious left).
So they can't be spotted on the basis of their atheism like many christians can on the basis of their christianity.

 The Raving Atheist
There’s a buffet of religious postings (scroll down to the “Smidgeon of Religion” subheading), and a stray link to Revealed Truth’s post about “about a screwball atheist's latest attempt to fight the evils of religion and its perilous influence on government” (the Christmas tree recycling bag scam I wrote about here).
to ask the same question that Pagans and Atheists use to “trash” my spiritual path all the time.” Putting aside his confusion of Pagans with atheists, this seems to be an admission that the questions have a powerfully trashing effect, whether upon Mother Nature or God.
In view of the big tsunami, he’s outraged that certain environmental groups think She should be protected and worshipped -- a devotion he finds “particularly ironic in light of the secular dismissing of the Biblical God” he worships:

 Why I Left Atheism -- Does God Exist?
Of all the lessons that I present concerning the existence of God and of all the material that I try to make available to people to learn about God's existence, the present lesson, "Why I Left Atheism," is the lesson in the series that I frankly do not like to present.
I was still rejecting God and holding on tenaciously to my lack of belief.
I felt that believers in God were uneducated and were just following traditions, superstitions and things that really made no sense to a person who was aware of what was going on around him.

 Bad Subjects: I am a Fighting Atheist: Interview with Slavoj Zizek
Not only do we have a Third Way left; we now have a Third Way right too, which tries to combine unrestrained global capitalism with a more conservative cultural politics.
From his ground-breaking 1989 book The Sublime Object of Ideology to his trenchant 1999 critique of Western governments' intervention in the former Yugoslavia, titled NATO as the Left Hand of God?

 Crazy Atheist Libertarian
Being left alone is so clearly a requirement for one to live free that it is tempting to focus on it to the point of missing the other "blessings of liberty" that can come ONLY by living in a free society.
But that doesn't mean I will live in a free society.
One other thing I just can't resist mentioning, since you are the one who brought religion into this.

 The Atheist Alliance Web Center About
Authoritarian religion, aided by the apathy of the voting public, threatens to envelope us in ignorance, intolerance and tyranny.
Through the Alliance, members share information and cooperate in activities with a national scope, such as overcoming the religious-based bigotry of the Boy Scouts of America, which refuses to admit atheists to membership and holds that one cannot be a good citizen without a belief in their particular god.
Atheist education begins with our own members learning about the struggle of courageous men and women who defied the superstitions of their day and advanced the culture of reason and science.

 Was Hegel Christian or Atheist?
These liberal believers rationalize so much Scripture that no fundamentalist doctrines are left.
If it isn't that, then perhaps we're better off as atheists, since in a state of authoritarian religion, only dissenters are free.
One way to decide is to review Hegel's earliest writings on religion, especially Christianity.

 The Missing Atheist Left Behind
Not all atheists feel the need to criticize, let alone mock, religion.
It reassured them that they weren't the only ones on earth to feel this way." Says Orin ("Spike") Tyson, a friend and employee of O'Hair's who is now living, albeit embattled, in the house on Greystone Drive: "She went out in public and made it acceptable to at least say the 'A'-word.
Travis, a Vietnam "foxhole atheist" who had lost his God while under enemy attack, had initially regarded the American Atheists' pre-disappearance monetary woes as an occasion for solidarity: "It was like being outnumbered and under fire again, but by golly we were there," he says.

 Elon Decries "Atheist-Left-Moslem-Murderous" Alliance
I am now coming from Tourism Week [with Christians] who are the ones who are coming here as tourists and who remain loyal to Israel."
"Therefore, this outrageous alliance between MK Dehamshe, a Moslem religious extremist, and the Jewish left-wing atheists here, is to be totally condemned - while the coalition between myself and Christians, for whom the Bible is a common ground, is [praiseworthy].
"I have read the reactions of the Israeli left, concerned about my joining up with Christians who love Israel.

 Atheist left
It should be noted that orthodox Communists are atheist as a matter of doctrine.
The atheist left is a term that is not used much (see Christian right) except by U.S. conservatives as a response to the usage of terms such as Christian Right by what they perceive as being the Liberal media.
The basis for the usage of such a term is that Communists, who are usually seen as far-left, are as a matter of doctrine atheists, and American leftist politicians, while perhaps neither atheistic nor communist, are stridently for separation of church and state and are thus believed to be promoting an atheistic society.

Atheist sues to ban hand on Bible - The Washington Times: Metropolitan - January 08, 2005
The California lawyer who tried to have the phrase "under God" removed from the Pledge of Allegiance now wants to legally prevent President Bush from placing his hand on a Bible while being sworn in at his inauguration.
Newdow, 50, asserts that the presence of Christian ministers who pray publicly at the inauguration, Christian songs and the swearing of the oath of office while a president places a hand on the Bible violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment.

 Christopher Caldwell didn't play nice in his review of Slander.
Not once did the paper refer to ‘atheist liberals’ or ‘the atheist left.’”; To Coulter, of course, this is all a sign of gruesome bias.
COULTER (page 166): Despite the constant threat of the “religious right&; in America, there is evidently no such thing as the “atheist left.”; In a typical year, the New York Times refers to either “Christian conservatives&; or the “religious right&; almost two hundred times.
And why don’t we read about the “atheist left?”; Because the group doesn’t exist.

 Atheist leader left almost $100,000 in gold coins behind
O'Hair came to prominence more than three decades ago, when she and several other atheists were involved in successful court battles to remove prayer and Bible reading from public schools.
She was, however, still America's most prominent unbeliever - a profane, combative foe of all organized religion.
Former workers say that for years the family members spoke of an exile overseas and had established various bank accounts in New Zealand in their own names and in the names of atheist organizations.

 Fallacies [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
During a controversy about the truth or falsity of atheism, the fallacious reasoner says, "Let's define 'atheist' as someone who doesn't yet realize that God exists."
You are committing a fallacy if you deny the antecedent of a conditional and then suppose that doing so is a sufficient reason for denying the consequent.
The definist fallacy occurs when someone unfairly defines a term so that a controversial position is made easier to defend.

They ends cannot justify the means, because certain kinds of means corrupt the users, warping them beyond a point where they are capable of achieving the ends, where they are even incapable of wanting to achieve the original ends.
In November, the members of the vestry voted 10 to 1 to ask Father Ray to "treat same-sex couples and different-sex couples equally when it comes to marriage." They left it up to him about how to proceed.
He said he considered St. Thomas's "a lively and engaged congregation, and that he advised guests who had concerns that they have "a right to address policy."

What could be the reasoning behind setting very high standards, while underfunding the program?
His position is that the program still requires the high standards set forth in the bill, yet it is underfunded to the point of making these goals unattainable.
