Religious "moderates" and atheists

Neither is Extreme Religion =/= Religion.

Neither do moderate religious types seem to have a problem condemning extremist religious ideologies and actions. Or have I missed the part where Westboro Baptist Church, the Ku Klux Klan and wholesale Biblical literalism, fundamentalism and/or Presuppositionalism has become predominantly celebrated in the Christian world?

And no. Since atheism is simply the disbelief in gods, it is not committed to rational argument and evidence. Individual atheists (or theists) may be, but let's not kid ourselves that such is part of atheism. Even though I take atheism to be the most rational position on the existence of the divine, it's practically self-evident that people can come to the right view irrationally.

Quote:If moderates can say the same about extremists in their faith, why don't we see ourselves in the same fight? Is this happening and the moderate is just too fringe to be noticed or have more of an impact?

For some reason, I just can't make out what you're saying here (long day...). Could you restate it more clearly please?
