Atheists Can Be Wankers Too!: A Foot Soldier's Response to the Four Horsemen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781438951850)

In this provocative, lively, and timely work, the author takes the self-styled Four Horseman of Atheism (Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, Hitchens) to task for sloppay scholarship and disturbing rhetoric. Written from the position of a religious practitioner at the sharp-end of a working class parish, this is a counter-blast from "below"; challenging, robustly, the haughty and paternalistic elitism of the New Atheists. Moffat delivers a critique from the perspective of radical Christianity and argues persuasively that, contra the Four Horsemen, genuine religious faith is corrigible, rational, and moral. However, the author is not content with confrontation alone and the book concludes with an acknowledgement of the dire need for religious reformation in the modern world and a passionate plea for dialogue, mutual understanding and shared action between theists and atheists.
