Did you know #NewAtheism is being ressurected in #India?

I'm not talking about the #FourHorsemen or their white, middle class disciples (but there is a connection!)

- "old #atheism" associated with #rationalism and #communism in a region of South India (#Kerala)
- there, new atheism was introduced in part by dissemination of Western #newAtheists (now spread in #esSENSEglobal's Summer camps and other church-like activities)
- India's new atheism seems linked to #caste and #neoliberal #politics
