Any feedback is appreciated! Trying to write something every week.
Good job making the post

My feedback is that the post is too short--seems like the beginning of a post, as opposed to a whole one.

If you're interested in religion but want to go beyond the New Atheists, I recommend picking up a book like Refuting the New Atheists or Atheist Delusions. You don't need to be a religious person to realize that the Hitchens/Dawkins approach is an extremely shallow one that basically no scholar of religion takes seriously. They are mostly just polemics aimed at causing controversy to sell books. If you want a real critique of Christianity, pick up Nietzsche instead.

I also recommend A Secular Age, which isn't about the New Atheists, but shows how religion and secularism / atheism are not as simple as some think.
