"Perhaps that is what religious people find offensive - atheists effectively calling them liars ?" "

So, mayomick says something dubious, that makes it so. So pour more dubious comments on that. Is that what is happening?

The only religious person I know who has complained about Dawkins misuse of the word "delusion" is me. I am not offended. I have been making the point that his doing so puts him on an equal footing with those HE is complaining about. Which goes back to the point made in the de Waal article of the original post that some atheists are becoming dogmatic.

You two seem to be making the point that "we atheists are bad, but you religionists are worse. Since that reinforces my point, I don't think that I fundamentally disagree with you. We are just tidying up the details. Thank you sirs.
