Totally this.

The Athiest cult is an illogical group. They exist purely on outrage of religion.
I'm not sure if Corky is gaining enough mileage trolling religion topics that he has decided to stick with it, or if he actually believes what he's been posting lately.
Any creator of the universe would have to be vastly more complex than the universe he created. I don't really know if there is or is not a God, but it's more logical to assume the least complex scenario. I am fairly certain that if there is a God, he doesn't really care if we spend our days talking to him or not.

Believing in a Judeo-Christian religion is in essence believing in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, it's been handed down as truth and people believe it without a second thought. It simply goes to show you how mindless the masses can be and the power of ostracization in communities over time when it applies to not following the religion of choice.
The reason there aren't that many atheists is probably because they were all burned in the crusades..

This is a great thought. But we should be reacting to the reality that we exist in, not the pretend world we wish we inhabited.
Some people do get preferential treatment over others. You say this is the antithesis of what is America....yet you seem to loudly denounce any efforts to change this.
This, 'we must not discriminate and instead must allow discrimination to happen' ideology has been a long running theme in America. Very curious how this really makes any sense in the heads of those who preach it  .

What we really need is a better k-12 education system to point out that myths aren't reality.
Funny how at the university level we don't have that problem.

I don't think you understand what the phrase means.
