The author writes, "Religious doctrines that venture forth onto society's battlefield of ideas should not be entitled to armor that is thicker than that of any other combatant." I agree completely. For example, it's the job of religious educators as well as secular humanist educators to point out, and resist, the patriarchal and oppressive cultures that are documented in various ancient texts. One criticism leveled against religion is that it is triumphalist, and frames its outreach in the language of war. But secular humanism is just as triumphalist. For just one example, the common evolution catchphrase is "survival of the fittest." So, we figure "I'm here, I must be the fittest." Let's reframe evolution as "the suffering unto death of all creatures that aren't fit and lucky." Then maybe we can get the humility needed for some real dialogue.
