How sure are you that atheists don't "get" religion?

70. What you don't seem to get is that you attribute this "thinking faith" to far more people

than actually follow it. You are over generalizing in order to make your POV seem somehow more relevant. It's called a "bandwagon" fallacy, but you're doing it with blind sources and a level of passive-aggression rarely seen in the wild.

The problem is that you just can't possibly convince people that there is such a "bandwagon" when there are so damn many people who hold strongly to a faith you deny is even legitimate. Those many people I refer to include those DUers I mentioned above, and I notice that you managed to dodge the question rather artfully as to whether you think their version of religion is a "thinking" one.

Take a pause here for a moment, and forget about me and other atheists you love to tweak on this board...don't you think it's possible that your continued statements regarding "thinking people" and "sophisticated theology" might offend other Christians?

Back to the topic...I don't buy the "thousands of congregations." You want to give me numbers, you need to give me proof.

Finally, I don't deny that your version of faith exists. That's a straw man of your own building. I recognize that you are different. You believe that the majority is like you.

And you're wrong.
