By imagining that they are defending tolerant Christians from intolerant Muslims, for example, they cast themselves as innocent victims rather than predatory bigots.

Fantastic imitation!

I appreciate this perspective

I appreciate this perspective (and Donal's contribution). I just wish that Harris' perspective were as nuanced.

I didn't notice before, but according to this STAGE 4: TOTALITARIAN ISLAMIC "THEOCRACY" can be achieve with followers of Islam making up only 20% of the population. What does that say about true Americans when jihadists can kick the butt of the other religions and take over the government when they are out numbered 4 to 1.

His essential purpose? Do you think that there will be a militant atheist / Christian fundamentalist alliance?

Yes and no. "Third world" is

Yes and no. "Third world" is not just an economic status. It's cultural, political, institutional, and economic all mixed together. That is, religious conservatism is both a cause and effect of the other disorders.

In the 1300s, Christians lived in the dark ages--religious theocracy, grinding poverty, political tyranny, and brutal intolerance. The advances of the Renaissance and Enlightenment improved the situation on all fronts, and the progress in various areas was mutually reinforcing.

But as the Christian world advanced, the Muslim world--which had until then been more tolerant, more creative, more intellectual, and more wealthy--fell into stagnation and decline from which it has yet to recover.

The problems have been exacerbated by European colonialism, of course, but they began before that, which is why Europe colonized the Middle East, rather than the Middle East colonizing Europe. The ejection of the Moors from Spain marked Europe's ascendance.

PS Hindus also have problems with religious violence, intolerance, and conservatism--as evidenced by honor killings, slaughter of Muslims, and the caste system, though I think that it's no longer so institutionalized as it remains in many Muslim counties.
