" Religious Americans have long taken the "you go to your church and I'll go to mine" approach to religious tolerance,..."

Some do and some don't.

" ...but atheists can NOT tolerate religion. "

Likewise, some do and some don't. The amount of tolerance among either is likely about the same.

I'm going to run with a tiny thread of this post and say what a great thing it is for people to say thank you and express gratitude. We should all think about things we are fortunate for and express thanks to everyone more often. "Thank you" are wonderful words everyone loves to hear.

I'm an atheist, and I certainly don't 'have it in' for christians. If you have faith - good for you. I hope you are right. At the same time, I don't. Live and let live, etc.
