In reply to the discussion: Ask Andrew W.K.: As an Atheist, How Do I Handle Religious People? [View all]I know full well that there are people who have a real animus against religion (I was once attacked in the street because someone overheard me discussing my faith, although I think that was a problem with my faith specifically, rather than faith in general) but the word choice and the self-centredness (is that a word?) of the letter strike me as false. As I said, it sounds like a fundie caricature of how atheists think and I've gotten pretty good at internet cold-reading over the years.
I could be wrong, of course. There is someone at the far end of every statistical curve (as I say so often my SO wants it on my tombstone).
