Well, the original poster's writing isn't succient and the prose is terrible.
But the problem with this particular argument is that atheism is taboo and outside of the box. Atheists are continually backpeddaling and trying to explain away someone else's point of view. They never form their own. They are too concerned with disavowing religion to such an extent that they routinely neglict what they stand for. And at this point, it is pretty much nothing.
I read Hitchen's "God is Not Great" and I couldn't keep reading. Yeah yeah, we know why religion is BAD, but why is the lack of religion good? The guy is a moronic alcoholic, and appears to always will be.
This is why atheists don't have charities. They are too much on the defensive to form an ideology that they can bring to someone and say "Here, this is what we're about." That is the only real way to carry a message.
