Could you...
...find it hard to believe that Anti-ID proponents are Anti-religious fanatics?
"Could you......find it hard to believe that Anti-ID proponents are Anti-religious fanatics?"
That is a good question and I had to think about it for awhile. Upon reflection my thinking is thus: Since I maintain that holding to an "ID" position is actually a mild one (verses a full blown creationist like myself), then it would follow that anyone that militantly holds to an "Anti-ID" position is probably, in many cases, an "Anti-religious fanatic."
BTW, I have known true athiests that do not get at all upset about people believing in a God, even one that created the world - as long as nobody is trying to force them to hold those views. They are convinced there is no God or deities, so it is not an issue to them and they feel nothing that compels them to convert people to atheism.
On the other hand, I have known "athiests" that don't take a live and let live attitude, but are militantly athiestic. Actually, by their behavior atheism is a religion, because they attempt to evangelize, and get made at the "ignorant fools" that believe in a God, no matter how benign the belief.
