Chapter One - The Party of Reason by Tom Gilson

Part of a review for this book closed with the following statement:
Which is more reasonable: atheism or Christianity? Read “True Reason” and think for yourself.”

 Lots of problems with this statement.  atheism or [Insert any religion here]"  Now that's a statement that works.
The current wave of atheism isn't an attack on Christianity.  Its a social statement in regard to all religions.

OK - I'm off topic already, back to Chapter One.  Warning: there will be many posts about chapter one.

The first chapter is about the New Atheists (Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris) and the atheist claim of being about "Reason".
The chapter states the claim that the New Atheists books, articles and debates are riddled with fallacy, appeals to emotion, and mishandling of evidence.  Essentially, that the call to reason has been incompetent.

This is a bold statement, and opens the writer up to the same scrutiny as they are applying to the New Atheists.  A discussion on Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris follows and then a series of closing statements to draw a more abstract definition of "reason" and then how the rest of the book will assist in support of the argument that reasoning is from God.

Lots in here to work with, but I am going to start with the statement "No reputable scholar doubts the existence of Jesus".  What follows is nothing to back this up.  So I started to do some research.  It should scare the Christians amongst us how sketchy the evidence is, and I'm calling it evidence only out of...no, actually I can't think of a good "reason" to call it evidence.
