Secular fundamentalists are the new totalitarians

This is an interesting analysis by Tobias Jones in the "Guardian, U.K. " The secular fundamentalists are acting like totalitarians act, urging suppression of those who disagree with them, extending so far as to recommend that parents be prevented from teaching their children about religion. Wasn't this tried last century in the Soviet Union? Yeah, worked really well there, not that actual evidence is going to change the mind of the secular fundamentalists. This comment is especially telling: "Richard Dawkins' comment on Nadia Eweida (the BA employee who refused to take off her cross): "she had one of the most stupid faces I've ever seen." Nice."
