Atheism on the rise

Here's a recent article from the Economist with some stats you might be interested in.

Interesting! I don't like the attitude that some atheists seem to have that is very similar to other religions where they think their way is best and if you don't believe the same, then you're stupid. It is interesting, though, that it mentioned people are starting to feel more comfortable calling themselves atheists. I remember a guy at work talking to someone and hearing him say, 'We atheists have to stick together.' It made me smile. We all need someone. I think I'll stick to calling myself an agnostic for now!

Fights like this are unlikely to enhance atheism’s growing appeal in America.

That I agree with...in particular all the debate about the cross beam being shown at the 9/11 memorial. If it represents something important to the surviving members of the victims, then they should have it.
