#1 Sounds to me like this guy's a sane atheist, not a nutbag atheist like the ones who file lawsuits against the Pledge of Allegiance.

#3 There's a difference betwen an Atheist (someone who does not believe in God) and someone who practices Atheism (a religion which goes about trying to prove God doesn't exist, sometimes in very devout and militant ways). I'm glad this guy belongs to the former camp.

#7 There's a difference betwen an Atheist (someone who does not believe in God) and someone who practices Atheism (a religion which goes about trying to prove God doesn't exist, sometimes in very devout and militant ways)."

Those in the latter camp can be called a lot of things - antitheists, secular fundamentalists, atheist evangelicals, anti-Christian bigots etc., all of which more or less describe what they are and what they believe.

Being in that latter camp is the great shibboleth of the cultural elite in the West these days.

It is indeed refreshing to see someone like this guy or Orianna Fallacci or Camille Paglia - folks who though thy are atheists in practice are Christians culturally, at least.
