Mr. Deity, Reza Aslan, and “fundamentalist atheists”

February 1, 2016 • 10:45 am

In this episode of Mr. Deity, Brian Keith Dalton lauds Reza Aslan (remember, Dalton’s playing God), and then goes off on New Atheism, while Lucy (who, you’ll recall, is Satan), ties God in knots with a few judicious questions about “fundamentalist atheists.” (If you haven’t read Anthony Grayling’s nice essay “Can an atheist be a fundamentalist?“, I recommend it.)

The satire ends at 5:19, when Dalton imparts some bad news and also asks for donations to his Patreon site. 424 people have donated so far, and the amount is going up (it’s already quite respectable). He—as well as the Jesus and Mo artist—certainly deserve your pecuniary support more than do e-beggers who provide poorly made and ascerbic attacks on other atheists rather than thoughtful commentary or good satire of faith.

  1. A.C. Grayling’s short essay is full of deft incites about that terribly misused word – fundamentalism. He’s certainly a hero of naturalism.
