The idea of a meetings involving [many of] these angry white men is not a conspiracy at all. Dennett hosts Dawkins and others of the ilk for brain-storming sessions. Now that they have milked the reductionist and "I speak for science" cow to the hilt, they are moving on to other left pastures such as questioning religion, bringing to it their trademark privileged white male intellectual faux rage.

P.S: my mixed metaphors above remind me of Matt Taibbi's excellent rant against Tom Friedman's prose (which included a sentence in which Friedman described his boarding a plane in terms of both being 'herding' (within the plane) and 'hunting' (for luggage space)). ;-)
