As long as we smile and pretend believers are all OK, some believers will say nice things about our “new” atheism that Madalyn expounded in her brief to the supreme court.

Religious indoctrination is child abuse. And if we say so, all the sweetness & light goes away.

Of course, it will go away anytime it damn well pleases, anyway.

The semantics of this are annoying , but I'm really gonna need an Atheist party in 2011. Somehow I get the idea that anyone not part of her group is now negative by default.

Although I like some negative atheism too. It's good to see that we are standing up and trying to change the image that has been assigned to us, for most of us know, that most atheists are good. Let's not forget that religion itself should be tolerated. It's the extremist viewpoints that Extremists portray and proselytize that are the real problems. The desire to integrate religion and government/education and to push unsubstantiated beliefs as facts, is in my opinion, the real enemy of atheists, who are by norm, rational thinkers. I fell this also the downfall of mankind. While most atheists are intelligent. There are a number of us that are just plain rude and end up making the rest of us look like idiots. So when some of us are running our mouths like we do, we are also justifying the opposition to act in a like rude and irrational manner. We are also setting a statement of other people that aren't us. The gays/lesdians I feel are doing a much more mature method of representing themselves as a minority than we are, because of our over-negativity. Once we obtain a positive image, then we can be much more effective. I think it is far better to push our agenda of reality and science than to push the negative agenda of anti-religion, unless it crosses the above lines.<br /> Why won't this allow me to put the word lesdian in it?
