I intend to add onto this list because i find both the new atheist movement followers and religious fanatics to be quite similar. I dont mean to say all of them are but quite a few that I see are actually having these similarities. Correct me if you think I am wrong or add more cause I know one thing they get pissed of easily.(LOL)
> 
> 1) arrogance
> 2) delusion: most of the new atheist movement followers i have met are convinced that religion is the root of all evil and religion should be completly done with just like religious nut jobs believe their religion is the only way to go ahead. there isnt any mid way its my way or the high way.
> 3) they both claim tolerance while in reality they arent tolerable to any other opinion because both are convinced that they actually know it all.
> 4) both use the slippery slope, straw man and ad hoimenum attacks to justify themselves.(Yah I have met religious people who use them hard to believe but the extreme ones use the same fallacies)
> 5) denial: they live in denial when they actually think they are listening to the other person when they are actually totally convinced and cannot even see that.
> 6) Both are more concerned with convincing others that they are more moral and wise than in actually seeking the truth.
> Again this is just a opinion-In brief. your opinion is excellent. right on.
