I'm not real familiar with Zahn since I don't watch much CNN. Anyone know if Johnson is likely to get fair treatment on her show? Good stuff!

Then, since atheism and theism are logically opposed as critical assertions/beliefs, then people shouldn't be criticized for thinking that their critical beliefs lead to better results than those of people whose beliefs are logically opposed, and therefore to behavior that is better.
