Atheist Convention

Some of the media coverage of the recent convention in Melbourne:

Barney Schwartz of The Age and Andrew Bolt of the Herald Sun both seem to think that the ridicule of the New Atheists reduces their credibility.

Bolt's piece- Speakers' true love of hatred

Scwartz's Atheists' ridicule won't win friends and influence people

Sydney Anglicans posted an article with similar sentiments here.

Melanie Phillips article was called "Dawkins preaches to the deluded against the Divine" . She concludes by saying that Dawkins is "not the most enlightened thinker on the planet, as his acolytes regard him, but instead the Savonarola of scientism and an intolerant closer of minds."
