[Buddha-l] Prominent Neobuddhist proposes religion basedblacklisting for government jobs

[Curt Steinmetz]

The problem with those comments is precisely that they deal only with 
Harris talking specifically about Buddhism. Like all of the New 
Atheists, Harris is primarily focussed on a critique of "all religion", 
of religion qua religion. Therefore, everything that Harris states, 
implies, assumes, or concludes concerning "religion" in general also is 
directed at Buddhism.
