re: #238 Obdicut

Why do you think it’s an attempt to drive all display of religious faith underground?

Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?

I don’t think so. One of the things that I dislike about Hitchens and Dawkins is their outright hostility towards religion. I think Carl Sagan was much more measured and respectful which made him a more effective critic. A lot of atheists are real dicks about any mention of god or having to witness a public prayer. I happen to be an atheist but I think the world would be a much less colorful place without religion and ritual.
