I don't say that I'm culturally Christian, because Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on charity and being good

Fair, I just say such because I was raised with specifically the positive aspects of Christian values.

You say you are "atheist, but culturally christian" because you are agnostic but try to love your neighbor and fight for the poor.

I say such because I don't believe in god but I live in a catholic country that has eight public holidays of religious origin where people don't go to work (I'm just very lazy and every day in which I don't see my boss' face is a wonderful day).

We are NOT the same.

New Atheism is Islamophobic cancer that justifies imperialist aggression in the Middle East.

It was primarily an Islamophobic movement in the post-Gulf War and 9/11 era.

Some good ones:

  • Hidden beneath a superficial rationalism, they provide a seemingly intellectual defense of imperialism, push islamophobia, and use it to create a smokescreen for the injustices of global capitalism. 2,3

It was a short lived thing a decade ago. This is a terrible post.
