Subject: RE: BS: Militant atheism has become a religion
Yes, I've always said that everyone is really "religious" about something

Ah yes, the usual bogus equivalence argument! It suits you to characterise people who have ardent disagreements with your cosy Christian line as "religious" in some alternative way. You do realise, don't you, that in so doing you are actually making "religious" into a dirty word? That is so laughable. So, in sum, no, we are not religious. Oh yes, we have certain convictions, hard-won (unlike religion, which is hard-received) that are based on the requirement for and critical assessment of evidence. I can't think of anything on earth as different from "religious" as that.
