NEW YORK, N. Y. (EP) — Political commentator S.E. Cupp is an atheist, yet she defends religion against some of atheism’s more militant proponents. She said that some, like Christopher Hitchens and Bill Maher, “are evangelists. They are proselytizing.”“I don’t believe in God,” she said, “but I’m not mad at him. I don’t think he’s dangerous. I don’t think religious people are fanatics.”
Cupp, a native of Carlsbad, Calif., spoke to students at The King’s College on Sept. 15, as part of the New York City Christian school’s Distinguished Visitors Series.
Cupp, who has worked for the New York Daily News and the New York Times, said that 95 percent of people in the world believe in some type of a divinity. For militant atheists to pretend “that religion is on the fringe,” she said, “is not only incredibly presumptuous, it’s a lie.”
