Theism vs. Atheism

[Jenyar]

Both sides have a lot to learn. There's an interesting book coming out by Jonathan Haidt, Professor in Social Psychology at Virginia... "delivered by a liberal atheist who desperately wants his peers to wise up, drop their self-righteousness, and understand the moralities of conservatives and of religious groups". Synopsis here. His other work is also worth checking out.

Liberals and atheists generally do not understand the breadth of human morality. They think morality is about decreasing harm and increasing justice and autonomy. But for most of the world, morality is primarily about binding people into cohesive communities with strong institutions and collective goals.
