This letter is associated with the following article:
Anthropologist Barbara J. King explains what our distant cousins can tell us about religion and why it's OK for scientists to believe in God.
  • What makes people controlling and judgmental?

    This is a trait that annoys me in both atheists and believers.

    I understand where religious people get the idea that their natural job is "mind police."

    But how in the hell do atheists come to believe that THEY have the right to that job themselves?

    Can any atheist here explain to me -- where do you people get YOUR judgmental fury from, since it's not religion?

    Where do atheists get the idea they can tell other people how to think?

    Religious people learn this behavior from the Bible. But where do atheists learn it from?

    Atheists -- please explain.
