I recently watched a short web-interview with Richard Dawkins on the Washington Post website. The piece was entitled: “Divine Impulses: Richard Dawkins on “the arrogance of religious persons”.

I want to make a quick observation. Let’s say that there are two general types of believers in the world: Modern and Postmodern. Yes, this is an oversimplification. However, it is useful for the purpose of this post, which is to highlight a difference in the varieties of faith and to highlight different ways of engaging with “strident atheists,” as Dawkins says.
