will never stop ridiculing and abusing people of faith till they get what they want, a completely secular society.

Well we atheists get ridiculed by people of faith (as well as by you) all the time. If we're not bitter ex-Catholics who didn't listen at school or read enough, we're practising a new religion called militant atheism. The truth is, Achy Tony, this is an internet forum, not real life. A place where a scurvy few of us say exactly what we think, sticking our heads above the parapet (sorry, I can't think of any cliches today to save my life). Earlier you said that we scurrilous militant atheists wanted to see the end of all religion, which is tosh and deserving of ridicule. Now you're saying we want a completely secular society. Well now, you've hit the nail right on the head! That's exactly what I would like to see. No faith schools. The teaching of comparative religion in schools, not religious instruction liberally laced with prayers under crucifixes. No archbishops in the Lords as of right (as of merit, maybe). No faiths having a say on what they regard as "moral issues" that they would wish to apply to everyone, not just their followers. Yeah, sounds good and healthy to me. Everyone doing their own thing, no pressure on anyone else to do the same as them. Their private beliefs are none of my business, and my alternative convictions are none of theirs. Great!

And I'll tell you summat else: if I went around in real life routinely ridiculing all my Christian family and friends, not only would I alienate them but I'd also alienate all my other mates as well for being a total prick. But that's cos I have a real life and can make the distinction. Have you?
