On freethoughblogs Pz Myers wrote a piece entitled The doctrine comes in many flavors He talks about the number of atheists who are not concerned about the challenge of ideological religious beliefs, but when it comes to other attractive beliefs such as gender stereotypes, atheists often rush to challenge this. We will not hesitate to be an icon if the issue is faith. We say, we say, shatter those chains and think of yourself, “Mires writes. Other topics, though, suddenly taboo. Try to go to most atheistic meetings and question, for example, traditional concepts of masculinity.
It indicates, rightly, that the culture is falling with stereotypes when it comes to how men and women are behaved, and the end of the piece, it touches the capture of artists, “men who go to their own path” and how these ideas of masculinity are non -scientific despite the allegations that they are the opposite. In the past few sentences, Mairz writes that “if you are concerned about removing obstacles to the capabilities of our sex, as most atheists will say, you are obligated to combat the propaganda of these false delicious worshipers as you do with the propaganda of religion.”
The piece is not really Click With me, though. Whenever I am involved in feminism or gay activity, I did not stop concern about the religious beliefs of others. When it comes to combating harmful bias, I will stand with the allies regardless of what the poster community will apply to them. When I attended the protest in the city of Bath on the memory of those who were buying Clomide, there is no prescription that needs to be killed in Orlando, a prayer was said and I did not care because all the people present met despite their differences to show support and solidarity. I participated in talks with atheist friends in the past who expressed their dissatisfaction that I supported a specific charity because “this is a Christian charity”, although there are no non -religious organizations that do the same humanitarian work.
Anyone who hesitates to support a good reason because of its religious origins is great for me. Of course, there are religious charitable institutions that practice bias and harmful practices, and I will not support them and I will actively challenge them (for example, the Association for the Protection of Children who have not yet been born), but the local churches run by local churches. There is nothing equivalent to secularism.
When it comes to such situations, I always remember a quote from Harold Blackham: “Humanity revolves around the world, not from humanity.“
Why can’t atheism be the same? Well, the truth is that it is possible. I will not ask the question why many atheists respond to challenging deep beliefs about sexual stereotypes and similarities, but why they hesitate to do this alongside their human colleagues who have more different beliefs than they do. I have often fought to find a common ground with people in the “atheist movement” because of this bitterness towards any religious person. Many of the things I see that people say somewhat inaccurate and stereotypes that are not fairly applied to all people of a certain faith. All he does is providing you with allies of a number of allies and atheists involved in isolated from myself.
