Hard to come by at this time of year, and it's not really news. Peter Higgs, theoriser of the Higgs Boson (subject of the CERN Supercollider experiments), has weighed in to the collective pile on Richard Dawkins with the shrewd if dull point that Dawkins atheism borders on religious fundamentalism itself. Let's go one further, it is religious bigotry, universalised and mildly cleansed by contact with humanism.
But religion is a prime vector of Truthiness, which is the real enemy of reason in public life. The ability to believe something to true regardless of facts or logic is based on alienation, and alienation starts on Earth, not in heaven or the realm of ideas. Without this understanding even the best intentioned atheism leaves one vulnerable to bigotry of all kinds (prejudice tends to mingle these days, rather than remain discrete - Islamophobic tropes for example are often a reboot of Anti-Semitism).
