Well, I just heard something real interesting on the radio.

It seems clear some of our illustrious UK atheists tend to think of the US as being in the grip of firebreathing religious zealots.

In this light, it's noteworthy that a local atheist organization has convinced (no doubt monetary compensation was involved) a Minnesota team called the St. Paul Saints to play a game tomorrow night while calling themselves the Mr. Paul Ain'ts- with, I gather, jerseys etc. reflecting this.    Reaction of the team, fans, and others in the area--including strong believers:   no problem.

Just perhaps the ones who have no sense of humor about religion are some of our beloved UK atheists, who, in a country where approximately 5% percent of the population are regular churchgoers, have convinced themselves that they are a poor persecuted minority.    Can you say "absurd paranoia"?
