What have atheists done for children? Contributed "common sense"?

You'd do well not to take me quite so seriously, Mousethief, and to read exactly what I wrote. Besides, you are misquoting yourself. As far as I'm concerned, atheism and atheists are two different things.

Ha. Common sense existed long before atheism

When did atheism start existing then, in your opinion?

and exists in many places outside of atheism. Want to try again?

Indeed, I know many religious people with common sense in abundance. I didn't say otherwise, though I'm not certain whether "outside of atheism" is quite the right expression - I would never normally lump non-atheists together as a group.

The idea that atheism is a mere absence of belief is contradicted by almost everything every atheist has ever posted on the World Wide Web.

I regard atheism as an absence of belief in God or Gods - I'm not responsible for what you or 'every atheist' (?) thinks it is. For me, it's not a belief.
