45. Damned uppity Atheists, wanting to say what they believe!
Why is at always the minority group that needs to go to the back of the bus and be quiet? Didn't work in the civil rights era , is not working for gay rights movement, won't work here. I certainly don't agree with everything the "New Atheists" say but I think it's important their voices are heard. Atheists are not lepers but are often still treated that way. As for the scientific illiteracy- new atheism is in response to that I believe. As long as I can remember there has been "controversy" about evolution in this country.
