New militant atheists want to 'destroy religious faith'
Feb. 4, 2010 - At a lecture for the Institute for Faith & Culture, Oxford University Professor John Lennox complained that the new militant athiests are not only anti-God, but they are also against those who believe in God.
Lennox also questioned athiesm's position on morality.
- He warned that Dawkins' views on a morality based on genetics were highly dangerous: "No good or evil – 'we dance to dna's music'. No blame. This is very serious – and many of our young people are being taught this. 'If God does not exist, everything is permitted'."

Reframing Human History
Sept. 23, 2009 - Kate Kirkpatrick gives us a review of David Bentley Hart's Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies.
Theologian Bentley Hart explores the current athiest culture and then examines key events of history to dispute the way they interpret them. He exposes Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and others for their manipulation of philosophy, theology, and history.
Hart complains that athiests reduce Christianity to "bloodthirsty crusaders and sadistic inquisitors."
- But they ignore the fact Christianity has produced the highest ideals of humanity. Never before the 2,000-year-old religion were slave and free, man and woman, rich and poor, Jew and Gentile welcomed in equal measure and with immeasurable love.

Author: Atheism, intelligence don't mix
Feb. 2, 2009 - Author and evangelist Ray Comfort has written a new book, You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence but You Can't Make Him Think. He debunks the popular idea that athiests are more intelligent than other people.
- He believes the rise of an aggressive "evangelistic" atheistic movement is a "symptom of moral decline."
"The darker a nation gets, the more it hates the light," he said. "The more a nation throws itself into sin, the more it's going to hate righteousness."
