Excellent article. I'll come clean here and admit to NOT being an atheist but I am a passionate supporter of a secular society and secular government. I despise all organized religion because I see the harm they ALL do. I'll take science over "faith" any day. And never in a million years would I expect an atheist to listen to my views on the divine and give them any credence just because I happen to think they are more rational and a lot less wacky than any of the other religions I've encountered. All organized religion is crazy. On that I agree with the author completely. I wish there were a way to make the people who believe in that silly crap see it too but damned if I can figure out what that would be. Still, I think it's valuable to keep trying.
