Athiest here too, though I would not pin it entirely on AG. Keep talking, people need to know what this AG stuff's about.
ie. No-one can deny that Christian fundies of all stripes will NEVER sit by and let this be a secular society. Evangelicism; by definition, is to carry your personal redemption message and to bring others to the fold.
The message was never unclear when I was there "Never give up. Promote, at any cost and in all areas, our message. INJECT the message if necessary". They were insecure, one-track-minded, and took no prisoners. I have literally seen families torn apart; certainly friendships.
That's why I don't trust Palin. I have seen this stuff with my own eyes, have seen the changes it has made in lifelong friends. If I've brought anything away from my association with these people; it is that strangely, they are lost. They have "found" nothing.
On a side note: Didn't McCain refer to these same people as "agents of intolerance"? I really wonder how well he and his VP will get-along together.
Long as they're not f'ing. Because LOL We all know he's a horndog.
All the best
