Timely posting of this article, since this Sunday is the day we honor atheists.
Atheism is a single-minded devotion to or zealous conviction that there is no God.
Therefore, 'atheism' is a religion, too.
I am an atheist, on my more optimist days, perhaps an agnostic. I couldn't care less what other people believe so long as they don't try to convince me that their beliefs are The Truth. I really, really get embarassed by and for atheists who evangelize and mock believers.
Interesting:

"1 April 2005 The New Orleans Secular Humanist Association has secured a National Day of Reason Proclamation from Mayor C. Ray Nagin."

Coincidence or what???
Atheists are nothing more than skeptics. Religion should be evaluated and put under scrutity just like any individual that makes extraordinary claims.
Hey all you athiests, when you can answer what the "first mover" was.... then you can claim logic backs your stand.... until then.. doesn't matter if you are militant or not... you do not hold the "intellectual and scientific" high ground no matter how much you think you do.
