Youtube figured out that I am an #athiest and started recommending #ChristopherHitchens videos. This #racist #violent #GeorgeWBush's ring-kissing #warMonger does not represent me.
That he would try to use #atheism as a justification for the US invasion of Iraq is just as disgusting as the primate of the Russian church using Orthodox belief as a justification for the invasion of #Ukraine.
Hitchens was just as bad or worse than those he ranted against.

#Enlightenment #neorationalism (I’d respectfully include #ChristopherHitchens here and #RichardDawkins) sometimes, perhaps typically, confuse belief-in-x (eg. ‘I believe the wafer is the flesh of Christ’) with a non-credal attitude more in line with a default-life pattern: the only alternative to not sleeping or not working (some folkloric music provides relief). Church attendance isn’t about #epistemology when you’re a #subsistence #farmer. And nor is it about high brow #theology. #rural
