Heck, I'm Catholic. I don't accept the inerrancy of Scripture and I think a lot of people worship a book rather than God, but that does not make me irreligious.
The anti-science bent of a lot of folks, especially here on FR, is really hurting the conservative movement. Conservatism should appeal to the rationalist, regardless of religious affiliation or lack thereof. Of late, however, the fundies have been trying to drive anyone not a born-again Protestant Christian from the movement, which will, in the end, kill the very things they want to promote.
I am an atheist and think you are clearly just a pathetic anti-Christian... "Fundie" is a favorite leftist slur...

I suppose you have plenty of evidence to back up that statement?
You didn't read my next line--it was meant as a vent, and not at you. Guess I didn't make it quite clear enough.
For the nonce, though, you can find quite a number of threads on DC where Christian-bashing comes to the fore. WHen this is juxtaposed with the constant protestations that "many devout Christians are evolutionists"; and with some of the remarks by poster X or Y on how they just baited some folks on FR, it begins to make the claims *look* hollow.
To be fair, though, I am willing to consider the proposition that the Christian-baiters are as non-representative of DC as the Velikovsky / true Luddite kooks are of FR.

I'm Roman Catholic, too. Let's not start up a Vatican II or sola scriptura food fight to boot, ok?
Cheers!
So, you accept the words of men to tell what 'scripture' REALLY means then; eh?
Huh?
From what I've seen; it's the rabid E's that don't want C's in the 'conservative movement'.
