• W2017743966 abstract "This paper uncovers a logical lacuna in the New Atheists' arguments against religion and responds to it from a process philosophical per spective. A major premise in the arguments of the New Atheists is that there is a causal connection between adherence to religion and the propensity for a person to carry out violent acts. In their books, the New Atheists propose to study religion as a natural phenomenon, namely, as a function of biological processes. From this perspective, religion can be construed as a byproduct of the controversial evolutionary mechanism of group selection. In their analysis, religion has traditionally played a positive role in the evolution of the human species, having been a tool of social cohesion. But they suggest that in light of the contemporary task of building a global civilization, it no longer has a constructive purpose. For the New Atheists, religion creates divisions among people. It breeds terrorism and violence, and it threatens to extinguish civiliza tion as we know it, rather than promoting the peace and harmony it so gener ally espouses. However, while the New Atheists study religion as a function of biological processes, the phenomenon of religious violence is curiously omitted from their scientific analysis, and it is treated as being somehow separate from biological processes. In order to truly be consistent with the methodological reduction of phe nomena to biological processes and the neo-Darwinist value program that they defend, the New Atheists would need to study religious violence as a function of natural selection and of the struggle for existence, rather than to set religious violence apart from biotic violence in general. Furthermore, an analysis of this type cannot legitimate moral judgments against either religion or religious violence. As a response to this problematic argument waged on the part of the New Atheists, I take up process philosopher Al fred North Whitehead's treatment of violence in evolutionary processes, and his stances on neo-Darwinism and Social Darwinism respectively. I further outline some of the main premises of an evolutionary ethic which I term, critical panselectionism." @default.
