Not the Same Old Atheism

Jonathan Haidt claims that the New Atheists have solved a key problem humans face: how to establish cooperation without the kinship of organized groups. Such freethinking individuals have much to teach ideologues. Namely, that suspending belief in order to make full investigation of all options is the best method for learning anything of a secular or even a spiritual nature. The early LDS leaders were likewise reticent to teach truth dogmatically. Truths we “learn” by indoctrination can’t compete with the sort of process Christ Himself prized: the gradual discovery that is lived and not “learned.”
