Great article as usual. I think I would disagree with "...., while those who believe in God do so despite what they do not know. " And I think it's as misleading as Enns statement.
I also find it problematic when you say ".. if I listen to your claim of a god, examine the evidence, and refuse to accept the claim, .." and then say "... They have no evidence and believe because they want to, were raised to, claim to feel God, etc…" Seems a bit biased and contradictory, but all in all wonderful as usual.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
