I totally agree with you and the idea of evangelical atheists both makes me cringe / laugh hysterically.

However, I kinda get the banding together idea, especially in some places where admitting to atheist views doesn’t exactly result in you getting warm hugs. I think there is something to at least asking “So what if I’m an atheist? Does that make me or my views less important than yours because you’re Christian/Jewish/Muslim/Jehovah’s Witness?”.

No matter how much we want to think otherwise “having religion” is seen as the norm.

Embarassing.

You’re right of course. Though, now I have to take back your Human Light gift for this year.

I'm more with you than not on this subject. Am particularly concerned about the creation of humanist or atheist churches which offer ceremonies or rites to celebrate marriage, birth, etc. That is totally nonsensical to me.

In a country where fewer people would vote for an atheist than would vote for just about every ‘vulnerable group’, I can understand why some atheists feel the need to stand together.
