We should remind ourselves, from time to time, how rare is the species Atheist Conservative. Most conservatives are Judeo-Christian. Most atheists (such as Dawkins) are neo-Marxists dolts. Is there any hope that this disturbing state of affairs will change?

I sympathize with your exasperation, Cogito, but âŚ
My guess is that most Europe-born/descended Europeans are atheists. Gods do not survive long. Even the ancient Jewish God is believed in now by only a small minority. Most Western educated Jews are atheists, even if they still choose to observe the rites. Marxism too is dying.
Trump, though he pays respect to some Christian-flavored religious belief (especially since his âmiraculousâ dodging of that bullet) is a political genius. The world is changing rapidly, and with him at the helm the close future looks as bright as we can reasonably expect.

Nussbaum is right that most scientific geniuses are politically naive, like Einstein and Dawkins.
Brilliant and stupid at the same time, as you point out. âIdiot savantsâ, almost.
Ironically, in his defense of Dawkinsâ stand against wokism, he refers to âthe scientific methodâ, and âevolutionary historyâ as (correct!) justifications, even though both of these refute religious belief in the supernatural as wellâŚ
Heâs right to identify Marxism as a secular âreligionâ, but of course exempts actual religion from the same criticism!
But his argument still holds water, because Marxism seeks to destroy civilization, while âJudeo-Christianâ religion does uphold the moral principles and laws (based on reason, no matter what the religious think) that are the foundation of Western civilization.
And it doesnât take a genius to see that.
So what is Dawkins - and so many other atheists - problem?

I agree with both of you.

Been lurking for a time, and have been too involved in âreal lifeâ, lol, to wander over here in recent months but occasionally- but this caught my eye as very near and dear to me, as well.
I agree with the comments, mostly.
And Iâve all but stopped even self identifying as an âatheistâ in public any longer, the marxists/leftists/whatever we are calling them now, have co-opted the entire subject, sadly, it has now become " Aay- theismâ, and they are now "Aay-theistsâ Capital A, full on dogmatically religious, and frankly, most are far worse then any of the traditional religions, excepting islam, of course- which resembles it greatly, in many points, to my mind.
Iâm only surprised they havenât started issuing Cards to be able to show each other, in a proper virtue signal, how âdevotedâ and âacceptedâ by the âGroupthink Mastersâ they are, lol, their âAay-theistâ bona fides, if you will, or something, lolâŚ
