1. Good News: Both our Foundations are now Officially Recognized as Charities

Happy to fund the cause. Keep up the good work RDFRS we need more members. After all it's just sheer weight of numbers that keeps the Pope out of the asylum. One man talking to his imaginary friend is considered delusional, but get several millions doing it and it's called a religion.

2. Do you have to read up on leprechology before disbelieving in them?

That's got my God off to a weak start.

This "you would expect to be.. unfriendly" review is an arrogant, ignorant, errant rant. The irony is it's the apologists that think everyone else is misguided. Of course only intellect can save us - from religion [comedy spit].

I was really hoping the tornado had come to take him back to Oz.

To 'anotherclinton'
The 'V-sign' is itself intended to be offensive, as I'm sure you've gathered, and was racial in origin. It matters which way round one's hand is held when giving the 'V'. Palm facing out it means V-for-Victory a la Winston Churchill circa 1940. Palm facing in and it basically means (these days) F*ck off. It's origin lies in the Anglo-French medieval wars when it was customary to cut off the bow-string fingers of captured enemy archers. The act of gesturing to the enemy with the fingers in this way was to show them you could still shoot a bow at them - and would.
BTW, how do we even know the people in the photo ARE women? A baby-buggy and Dame Edna glasses do not a woman make.

6. We aim to misbehave

MIND_REBEL, please forgive my ignorance of the US constitution (it's not taught in the UK), but are you joking about atheists not being allowed to vote in certain states? I would have automatically assumed you were joking were it not for the fact that I have heard of other equally absurd laws in the US. For example, in Arkansas a man can legally beat his wife, but not more than once a month!! Bet she's glad. And in Washington all lollipops are banned.

Having read this and PZ Myer's response I believe Nisbet and Mooney are not entirely wrong and that PZ Myer's is something of a reactionary. I agree that the anti-religion pro-science banner needs to be writ large and hoisted high, but their point is well made. It's a point that Myer's and many posters here have seem to have avoided, and that is that there is more than one way to skin a cat. Meyer's states that "candy coating the implications of science will never work…" Sorry, beg to differ. You don't tell a woman how the contraceptive pill works; you just say you won't get pregnant if you take it. There is room for other avenues of persuasion. Alongside the awareness raising efforts of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris et al, there must also be people using the 'softly softly' approach to persuade those who are put-off by the science and the table banging. I needed no convincing; I was already headed that way and so found the message that Dawkins and Harris are putting out to be dead right and clear as crystal. Others will need a different form of persuasion. Let's face it; this is not going to be put right overnight - there's a long haul ahead of us. The religious have a 2000-year PR advantage over us so we must use all avenues of persuasion as effectively as possible.
