Christians More Rational Than Atheists, Says Atheist
The most astonishing irony in the history of Western Civilization is that most of today's Judeo-Christian conservatives are more rational than most of today's atheists. In the United States, Judeo-Christian culture is more pro-reason than secular culture.
Understanding this irony wrapped in a paradox makes sense of the recent debate between leading atheist Richard Dawkins and leading ex-Muslim, ex-atheist, now-Christian Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
More importantly, this understanding is the gateway to saving the West.
