As a “skeptical” type and non-theist myself I’ve always been thoroughly embarrassed by fundamentalist atheists. Boorish attempts to remove crosses from war memorials, lawsuits over “In God We Trust”.. pathetic.
I recognise, for example, that the cross has become a universally recognised (in the West anyway) symbol of self-sacrifice and is an entirely appropriate symbol to place
(oops, connection got cut off)
..place on a war memorial.
If these people spent half the time engaged in productive discussion with others, people would be far less inclined to view atheists as the sneering, condescending twits that many of the worst examples are.
