Attack of the Theocrats!
The religiously persuaded, (regardless of which myth they adhere too), have been whipped into a frenzy so the effort's to reach them presently are limited in my opinion. We can certainly standup for ourselves and express our secular views but the conservative sites and churches will only demonize us further so expectation's that they will "see the light" are negligible. To use an analogy the present religious populace is like a disturbed bee's nest and we are walking up to them to discuss the finer points of honey production and it's chemical properties and the bee's are basically thinking I want to attack and sting your ass. A bit childish I guess but the religiously persuaded that I have witnessed lately seem to be fairly militant and intolerant to any opposing view. Just hoping to avoid these idiots as best I can at this point.
