"Anyone who still beleives in evolution should read Coulter's 'Godless'."

Ann is not a scientist, is she? If not, why would I read anything she had to say about evolution. As it happens, I did read "Godless." She does nothing but repeat the same non-scientific stuff we read here every time the subject comes up.

As opposed to the pro-evolution non-science that comes up.

Evolutionists worship the events of the scopes trial the way liberals worship the events of the 'mccarthy' era.

Regardless of whether evolution is true or false, the fact of the matter is a lot of folks seem to enjoy fabricating evidence in favor of it.

I have not got around to reading Ann's book and likely won't. I', not interested.

But I did get around to reading your position on Atheism.

Atheism is not a religion. It does not involve belief in any particular ideas or concepts. It is merely a disbelief in any sort of deity or other supernatural entities. For the atheist, such things simply are not believable. Atheism, in itself, is nothing more than that. There are no churches of atheism. There is no central doctrine of atheism. There are no principles of atheism. It is, simply, a disbelief in deities and other supernatural entities.

I have to disagree your your definition. Atheism is a belief system. It takes an absolute position on religion. It holds as a fundamental truth that God or Deities do not exist. Yet, it is given preference in the American judicial system on matters of religion. Your notion that your disbelief in God (a belief in no God) is different than one who believes in God makes you different is pompous. Both views hold a fundamental truth that cannot be proven by sensible experience. Both must adopt some unprovable a priori to duduce their respective view. The difference between an atheist and a religionist is the difference between a Jew or a Christian and that of a Muslim. The first two have subordinate rights to the latter. The Muslim claims his Allah is the True God. Even though Christians and Jews worship God, it must not be Allah as the Muslim keeps twisting his view to believe so. In the same way Atheists are twisting the law in America. The ACLU atheists are running with Muslims in their efforts to harass Christians in the court rooms.
