"...Those are great quotes!!!!...and true as well. So called 'atheists' just insist on making fools of themselves, with no embarrassment at all.."

gee GfS, those quotes are NOT 'great', they are just 'slogans' and catchy phrases, because they are totally over-generalized and not 'true' because there are so many exceptions to them. I would bet that WAY more atheists do NOT spend much time going on about it.

   It is religious proselytizers who spend inordinate amounts of time asserting their beliefs and trying to convince others (often using intimidation) to pay attention. Embarrassing themselves? I assume that anyone from either side who overdoes lobbying for their position looks silly ...to everyone but themselves. *I* see Hitchens and others, whom I basically agree with, wasting their time and looking foolish trying to convince believers to not believe....but guys who stand on street corners and wave bibles and shout verses at passing cars look even more foolish...to me at least.

   'Obvious' atheism is usually in response to years of being inundated with claims by religious folks who are not content with their freedom to BE religious, and insist on pressuring others.
