re: #3 CuriousLurker

So the whole “I’m superior because I belong to Group X” thing makes this guy different than the fundie who claims “I’m superior because I belong to Group Y”…how?

I don’t find that the tone of the article like that at all. Sure there are some obnoxious atheists, but this article is pushing back against the fundie argument that Godlessness in the schools and courts has driven up crime and divorce rates. Showing that atheists are less likely to be criminal or divorced is a valuable rebuttal to the demand for prayers in school and the like. The fact that no politician can claim to be an atheist and expect to win any important election shows the degree to which atheists have been vilified.
