Studying atheism

[abaris]

There are many schools and christian colleges around who give this assignment every year, this must be the zillionth post of that kind. Often, there are the same dozen survey questions, how do you get your morality, what do you think is the purpose of life, yadda yadda.

That's why I'm asking. I'm interested in where this is coming from. Can't be anything serious by the fact alone that interviewing a "few atheists" is believed to be sufficient to get some kind of realistic picture.
