Your post is very cryptic."

Simply pointing out that, if you look for them, you can find all kinds of strange beliefs expressed on the internet and on t-shirts. That doesn't mean they are are prevalent. Most of my friends are non-believers; I read widely about religious subjects - but militant athiesim, as expressed in this article, is not something I've encountered. So I'm saying that this article is, in my opinion, based on a small minority of people. He may just as well have chosen flat-earthers to write about, or those who consider Startreck is a religion. But then, it is based on what happens in the USA. In Britain we don't take religion anything like as seriously. Seems to me he's just a journalist scratching around for a contentious subject to write about to make a fast buck.
