"Americans don't do Atheism"

Here is a new blog which will join my blogroll, at least for a while. The writing is interesting enough, and has attracted a good range of comments.

I was particularly struck by the mention of Rick Warren/Saddleback as a significant milestone in the American election campaign. In Texas last week, I had a conversation in which my interlocutor described the seeker-sensitive churches as liberal and loosing their way. It's all very interesting.

Hi jaajoe,

Thanks. I'll try to take a look. I'm not completely sure I see the connection, but there we are. For another book on a perhaps a similar theme see "God's Undertaker" by John Lennox, which I reviewed some months back: one of the things he shows is that one shouldn't assume a causal link between atheism and scientific thinking, in either direction (or at least, that's my recollection of it).
