It seems to me that a true atheist would be merely indifferent to notions of the supernatural. These people however, are actually angry with those who believe; some say they are more correctly termed `anti-theists’.

An example: on Interstate 40 in Tennessee, near the Cookeville exit on a hilltop, stands a Christian cross that must be at least sixty feet tall. Especially stands out if you are eastbound. An inspiring sight for me & many.

Google `Cookeville cross’. Unbelievable hostility in the comments at sites which discuss it. Like those who object to the 9-11 I-beam cross in the Ground Zero museum, atheists traveling on I-40 are `highly offended’ and `made to feel ill’ at seeing the tall aluminum reminder of Christ’s sacrifice.

“Should only be visible from roads not built with taxpayers’ money!”, one fumed.

Oh, well.......
