Why not just have no stance and simply be nonreligious? Belief of any kind grounded on no evidence at all has always been a grave mistake.
(E.g. Unconditional love, true love, etc...).
You do not understand the problem. The problem is not beliefs or ideology, but zealotory (the insane belief that your way is the one true way and that you are better/smarter/more enlightened than anyone else).
That is pretty much an apt description for New Atheism. It is just a different form of zealotery.
Yet New Atheists do not see this as wrong. Some have even argued that parents should be prevented from "indoctrinating" (i.e. teaching children religion and their moral framework).
