Contemporary secularism has lost its maturity and reduced itself to a vindictive, militant, and practical state. From a negative atheism, based on the rejection of God and the idea of God, we have moved to a <strong>positive atheism<\/strong>, a struggle against everything related to God.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Atheism, therefore, has transformed into a more na\u00efve variant: <strong>anti-theism<\/strong>. It has become a true faith, increasingly organized like a church, with ministers, rituals, proselytism actions, and dogmas (starting with the infallibility of science).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This <strong>&#8220;religion of atheism&#8221;<\/strong>, as italian philosopher Giulio Giorello defined it, puts forth arguments and apologetic reasoning in its favor. It publishes books and engages so passionately in the matter of God (and His non-existence) that it constantly speaks about it in conferences, public gatherings, books, articles, blogs, with a passion and (a)religious fervor <strong>far more intense<\/strong> than that of most believers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this section of the website, we <strong>explore the positions of militant atheism<\/strong>, its theses, its contradictions, and the &#8220;skeletons in the closet&#8221; that accompany it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-right: 5%; padding-left: 5%; text-align: justify;\">\n<div style=\"padding-right: 35%; padding-left: 35%; text-align: justify;\">\n<h2><u>Our dossiers:<\/u><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore the world of militant atheism and delve into its positions, theses, contradictions, and hidden truths.
