Sigh, OK, we had our debate about whether Neil deGrasse Tyson was a mealymouthed weasel about whether we was an atheist or not, and grumble grumble ok ok well, maybe, by distancing himself as a scientist from those awful atheists, yeah, ok, I can see that maybe he did *science* a favor. By buying into the whole badmouthing atheists things. And more science means more atheists in the long run... grumble grumble ok, yeah, maybe weasel is too strong a term. What do y'all think? Does distancing their lack of belief in deity from the term atheist do more good for science than it does harm for atheism?
