Atheist Overreach

Christian Smith
The New Atheists believe atheism is a suitable framework for grounding moral values, human rights, and social justice. Smith argues that while atheism can offer a personal worldview, it struggles to provide a solid foundation for collective moral commitments. He challenges the overconfidence of atheists who assert that secularism can replace religion in shaping a meaningful society, exposing its limits in the public square.
Secular reason, science, and liberal ethics cannot by themselves justify the human rights and moral obligations they claim to affirm.
