Whatever. I will not discuss this any more here. Mainly because it is not the topic. I am open to discuss the nonsense of the OP. You have blind faith in him, as if his word was godly and he has absolute reason.
When you want to discuss about the topic, you may find me here. Otherwise, screw you.
WORK AND FIGHT FOR THE REVOLUTION AND AGAINST THE INJUSTICE.
Happened across a list of the 7 types of atheism from John Gray's Seven Types of Atheism in A Field Guide to Atheism—for Believer and Unbeliever Alike:
...
1. ‘New Atheism’
A 19th-century orthodoxy—think Henri de Saint-Simon, August Comte, J. G. Frazer, and so on—the new atheism lives on in the work of Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, Dennett, and company, although it contains “little that is novel or interesting.”...
2. Secular Humanism
Following Nietzsche, Gray argues that modern progressivism is a “sacred relic” of Christianity, as people continue to believe in progress and development in history but change the source of this progress from God to humanity....
3. Scientism
This chapter makes uncomfortable reading, because it pulls together a variety of atheist expressions—scientific racism, mesmerism, communism, and transhumanism—which their proponents would claim to be quite different, but which share the same underlying commitment to human advancement through increased scientific knowledge....
4. Political Religion
“Partisans of revolution, reform and counterrevolution think they have left religion behind when all they have done is renew it in shapes they fail to recognise.”...
5. Misotheism
Every generation has its God haters, but the modern age has seen more than most....
6. Atheism without Progress
This is the least cohesive of the seven “types,” at least to me, and (as the chapter title suggests) it’s more defined by what it’s not—breezy, neo-Christian, world-making, progressive liberalism—than by what it is. The case studies of George Santayana and Joseph Conrad compose the entire chapter....
7. Godless Mysticism
It doesn’t seem like Arthur Schopenhauer, Benedict Spinoza, and Lev Shestov have much in common, but for Gray, they share what he calls “the atheism of silence.”....

And because we were recently discussing Genesis: Myth Congeniality:
Gray shows us there is more truth to the story of Genesis than there is to the Enlightenment myth that life is best lived through the application of reason. The Genesis myth of original sin tells us that human nature is flawed, and that knowledge cannot save us from our nature. The barbaric evidence of the last century alone shows that to be true. Gray the atheist has sympathy with religions, for many of their myths speak truths to the human experience; what angers him is the secularists who refuse to acknowledge that their world view is informed by myths also.

Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
