Either that, or he is just completely oblivious to reality.

Now that would be a significant improvement, but something tells me the OP is going to generate at least a few threads more. If he keeps it up long enough, sooner or later we shall recognize his authority and hail him as one of the NSG elite.

Atheism is not a cult it is the lack of one, it is the lack of religion, it is the lack of blind faith, and it is a label given to skeptics like myself that don't want to put everything they believe in on some guy from a book written by some goat herder hundreds of years ago. We are not converting people, we are helping people live happily without god. Atheism can be a hard thing to switch to if depending on your family life and where you live.

This isn't even newsworthy so much as 'a point of interest' sort of thing. Good for them. People who aren't interested in contacting them shouldn't be. People who do have questions and a genuine interest, can. Huzzah. I for one feel not one ounce of fear or loathing at this development.
