You're probably having lots of fun painting me and other evangelicals as extremists

As an atheist I do, thanks. But in return you have thousands upon thousands of your leaders get up in pulpits every day and condemn atheist such as myself to infinite damnation in hell, so expect a little payback, okay?

Even the weakest Christian leader knows that they have no authority to "condemn someone to hell" They communicate what is truth: Those that don't want anything to do with God in their life get what they wanted in hell - complete absence of God.

We are both atheists (more or less for me), but you seem to have considerably more resentment about religion than I do. I guess I think it does more good than harm, at least in the US. And those aspects of some religions that have implications in the public square with which I disagree, have little or no chance of being adopted as public policy on a widespread basis. So I don't fear religion, in the US.
