Jonathon Haidt wrote in his article ''Why Sam Harris is Unlikely to Change his Mind'' which was posted at the [[Evolution]] Institute website: "I am opposed to dogmatism. I am skeptical of each person’s individual powers of reasoning, and I’m even more skeptical of the reasoning of groups of activists, hyper-partisans, and other righteous reformers who would remake society according to their own reasoned (or revealed) vision."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150618131552/https://evolution-institute.org/article/why-sam-harris-is-unlikely-to-change-his-mind10/?source=tvol ''Why Sam Harris is unlikely to change his mind''] by Jonathon Haidt, Evolution Institute website</ref>

{{Cquote|A new study released by social psychologist Jonathan Haidt compared Atheists with popular conservative pundits like [[Sean Hannity]], [[Glenn Beck]] and [[Anne Coulter]].  Here’s why Dr. Haidt did the study, “When I was doing the research for The Righteous Mind, I read the New Atheist books carefully, and I noticed that several of them sounded angry. I also noticed that they used rhetorical structures suggesting certainty far more often than I was used to in scientific writing, words such as ‘always’ and ‘never,’ as well as phrases such as ‘there is no doubt that’ and ‘clearly we must’.”(emphasis mine)
