I fully agree that the two cannot possibly co-exist. It is quite sad that people do not have the desire to learn how the world we live in actually functions.
Also, I would like to say that I really enjoy your blog rob! You were totally right about America and the extreme hostility towards atheists that people here display. I live in the south which is a scary place for atheists. I am sure I would get fired if someone at my work place found out I was atheist. Oh, how I wish I could live in England.
