Okay smartass. I suspect that strategerist is reacting to the thoughtless religious groupthink that we see all the time on FR. Your comment was purely an attempt to be clever.

Thoughtless religious group think would be atheism. Its a religion that is so in want of supporting argument and so overwhelmed by opposing arguments that apologists for atheism have had to stoop to trying to attack the validity of human thought itself....all while holding their own thoughts somehow transcendent to such flaws.

CS Lewis commented on it decades ago...and I still see it today all the time.

Look "balls"...promoting the idea that there is no God or gods is a religious view. People who take that view put on their pants one leg at a time like everybody else. They are subject to assuming patterns they want to see just like everybody else. They have the ability to reason or chose not to like everybody else. They have one degree or another of faith that they are right or wrong, just like everybody else.

But to the extent they accepted these realities...they lose the debate...so they invent a non sensical model where they divide thoughts into two camps:

1) Their own...which they simply "feel" are superior and reasonable and rational (even though as many have demonstrated...they are not).

2) Any "religious" view, which they "feel" is based on faith (as if their own were not) and potentially flawed or biased thinking (as if their own brains were immune).

And thus they feel comfortably intellectually superior without the hard work of thinking the issues through and finding that their view is hogwash.
