My panties are perfectly fine, thanks ಠ_ಠ
But seriously, I'm only objecting to calling atheism a movement and the use of the word we. Lack of belief is hardly an ideology, or a social club.
As for the topic, I think it is 'cowardly', though that's maybe too strong a word. Some people don't like the stigma that comes with declaring atheism, and I can understand that, what with all the loonies over there. But NDT does show a great deal of ignorance about atheism, and that's a pity.
Christianity is simply the belief in the divinity of Jesus - There is nothing else as a requirement, so how is that at least a concise movement?
