High Brow And Middle Brow Faith
Jerry Coyne argues that some of us in the pro-religion camp are projecting:
[S]ome theologians with a deistic bent seem to think that
they speak for all the faithful. These were the critics who denounced
Dawkins and his colleagues for not grappling with every subtle
theological argument for the existence of God, for not steeping
themselves in the complex history of theology. Dawkins in particular
was attacked for writing The God Delusion as a "middlebrow" book. But
that misses the point. He did indeed produce a middlebrow book, but
precisely because he was discussing religion as it is lived and
practiced by real people. The reason that many liberal theologians see
religion and evolution as harmonious is that they espouse a theology
not only alien but unrecognizable as religion to most Americans.
