The article that you referenced didn't agree with the position taken by Dawkins [quote] Dawkins is in some ways a terrible representative for atheism, which I'm glad about because a bad cause deserves a bad leader. He is also a terrible advocate for science, which I'm sad about because science deserves all the support it can get. [/quote] So D'Souza seems to agree with your position that this is a stupid idea. If on the other hand, you are referring to Dawkins idea itself, I was confused by you referring to an article that only references his idea and doesn't think much of it. From what I understood of the article you reference, I don't think there's much chance the idea of calling atheists "brights" will take off. As D'Souza points out: [quote] Basically Dawkins is saying if you are religious, then science is your enemy. Either you choose God or you choose science. [...] Indeed Dawkins takes the same position as the most ignorant fundamentalist: you can have Darwin or you can have the Bible but you can't have both. [/quote] This is not a position to win him supporters among scientific, atheistic, or religious thinkers. It looks a lot like a publicity stunt that is bound to fail . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
