The problem with this program and the writings of some atheists is that they tend to treat religious people as stupid and superstitious, and that only they (the atheists) have the "correct" knowledge."
This is exactly what I have been speaking on for a while right here on this site. I'm sick of all the claims from some Atheists that all Christians (or people of faith in general) are incapable of critical thinking, and that religion is "evil". There are plenty of smart and caring people who follow religion. Just look at President Obama, for example. The Mike Huckabees of religion DO NOT represent me or anyone else I know whatsoever. They're just a vocal minority who uses religion as an excuse to push their perverted agendas.
I have no problem with people being Atheists. As far as I'm concerned, people can believe whatever they want! It's no skin off my nose. The problem I have is when people turn vicious about it. These type of people who generalize all people of faith and attack religion are basically the opposite side of the same fundamentalist coin as the religious nuts.
