An atheist is only a person who does not believe in gods. NOTHING ELSE is implied or may be inferred.
An atheist is just an ordinary person. His atheism does NOT make him a better or happier person. Eg he may well be an angry,miserable, paranoid bigot like that Condell fruitcake.

This article is just as bad as a theist saying "an atheist cannot even COMPREHEND what it's like to have faith, the poor, sad, ignorant fools !"
And the fact that some of us indulge in that kind of mental masturbation should be a source of worry.
Villifying the religious as a whole as intellectually-stunted simpletons is being a bigot, intellectually small, and very, very irrational.
Sorry but believing in a fairy tale when there is no credible evidence, which is the case for theists, is something that needs to be pointed out. I fail to see how this has anything do with bigotry or irrationality.
Secondly, the article is not about denouncing religion per se but how good it feels to be free of the shackles of religion.
