Damn, that's a real convincing argument you got there.

Any cursory understanding of world religions and theology will tell you that this "Sky Daddy" view of divinity is incredibly rare. Not only because not all religions are monotheistic, but even among monotheists, conceptions of God are incredibly varied and diverse.

I think what irks me about this kind of 'New Atheism' common in Western internet spaces (which frankly, I thought was a decade+ out of vogue by now) is that it isn't simply a lack of God belief, but a specific disbelief in the God of American Evangelical Protestantism that somehow manages to retain so much of the philosophical underpinnings of the thing supposedly being rejected.

When Sam Harris famously said, "Islam is the motherload of bad ideas" he's rooting that position in, not only War-on-terror Imperial chauvanism and racism, but also on the very Protestant idea that right beliefs are what bring about salvation.

Of course, the secular version of this idea eschews God. But it replaces faith with belief in so-called Western Values, and Salvation with 'backward' nations of the global south being enfolded into the sphere of western liberal hegemony.
