Your considerable prior usage of "inhuman" to refer to non believers in the supernatural

Solon, I was following that discussion closely and I don't recall Neo ever calling non-believers inhuman. That doesn't mean he didn't say it, of course, my memory being what it is, but I don't think so. I think he just said that the world the Russell described was inhuman. I took his meaning to be your number 2.

<<2 : of or suggesting a nonhuman class of beings>>

I did not use inhuman to refer to non- believers in the supernatural. I used it to refer to the world presented by "scientism". Russell himself called that world inhuman......

I hope the ironies implicit in this definition of "inhuman" are obvious to all. The human race is strikingly inhuman.
