122. WTF? It looks GREAT!
And it also seems to be probing honestly into whether or not the Jesus character was real.

As for your title, do you suggest that those of us who don't believe start LYING, or pretending that religion isn't the destructive force that many of us believe it to be?

Whatever. I will never do that. The moment that all atheists shut up for fear of upsetting the deluded majority, will be the day that young doubters have no one to turn to to understand that indeed, they are not the only ones who doubt the ridiculous stories of the Bible or the Koran or the Talmud or the Sutras.

I want to be there for other doubters to tell them, 'no, you're not crazy or sinful. You've just thought things through a bit further than most people care to. You're okay, and there are a lot of us who think just as you do.'

And how can you call a movement that tells people to STFU about their atheism (in the face of a major onslaught by would-be theocrats) progressive in any way?
