I know. I criticize him a lot on places like facebook, since i find his rendering of religion to be a serious straw man, and find that for a man comfortable with his atheism, he is very "hate"ish against religion. That position really bugs me. I get that religious groups (especially in the US, and middle east) are way out of hand, but that doesn't mean "religion" is, and it surely doesn't mean religion has nothing to offer. I want to tell these atheists, "you have found something that works for you -- what is the advantage in attacking what works for them *when it's not harming other people or their rights*."

These are the people who i feel really do see atheism as "religion lite". They have found their "truth" and must proselytize it, often in less than "nice" ways.

it's a very strange position, i think, for someone who claims he dislikes all the harm done in religion's name. though not major harm, he does do harm when he instigates hatred against muslims, tells kids their parents are abusers, or just calls people stupid, because *he sees nothing truthful or valuable in their beliefs*. sighs.
