Wilson makes exactly that same point; -- atheistic communism is indeed just another ideology, a "toxic mix of religion and tribalism".

Only if you peer into emanations from penumbras. His statement is what it is. You can't dress it up in pink and call it Barbie. The mix is "religion and tribalism". Unless you are from the school of thought that says atheism is a religion, his comment was not directed at the commies at all.

You bet it is.. Its time we made a choice to live by our Constitutional values, and forgo the "toxic" values of the other two ideologies.

The United States Constitution singles out religion for special treatment, that would be the "free exercise clause". They could just as easily made special mention of scientific humanism but they didn't. So I have to ask, just what constitution would you be referring to?

I'm curious though, are you an adherent to the Humanist Manifesto?

In fact, communism is the exact opposite of tribalism. It seeks to erase all national distinctions.

When scientists attempt to comment on philsophy or the humanities, they spout nonsense. This guy is no exception, though his critique of intelligent design is spot on.
