I saw reference today to the term "secular fundamentalism," which sent me alooking for Mary Midgley, a great philosophical mentor to moderates. Mary is still writing. And she of course has something useful to say on the topic. It's good to hear her voice again. WIKI
"It should surely be obvious that there is nothing scientific about atheism. God’s existence is not a question for the tests of physical science; it belongs to metaphysics. What is wrong with fundamentalism is not its theism—theists do not need to take this line—but its sheer irrelevance." LINK
