I received a new book yesterday and here is a quote that I thought I'd share as it seems worth discussing,
'Parenthetically, it is worth noting that several of the most influential and outspoken representatives of New Atheism are "Anglo-Saxon males of Protestant upbringing from remarkably similar backgrounds of privilege and power."'
Now I'm not one for blaming men for this or that; hopefully by now folks know that's not my way. However, the quote does seem to have a ring of truth. So what is it with Protestant countries producing New Atheism, and with men particularly? Or do you disagree with this wholly?
