Regarding the Monday, July 27th, comic, I think that he’s exaggerating just a bit. All of the atheists/agnostics/secular humanists that I know are good polite people and don’t go out of their way to ridicule anyone. My son and I managed to be very active in the Boy Scouts for over 10 years without offending anyone’s faith or even having anyone suspect we weren’t believers. Also, I would quibble with the the word ‘devout’. It generally refers to someone with strong beliefs whereas the people he is referring to don’t hold beliefs at all.
