RE: How would you suggest going about dealing with an ignorant extended family member

I have one pair of extended family members who are complete religious wingnuts. Unfortunately, they live really close to me and used to ask to get together, mostly so they could preach. I refused. I made it very well known that not only is my entire family out and vocal atheists, but we thought the things they believed were idiotic. They now avoid us. We never see them. They've pretty much alienated themselves from everyone in the family. It's better that way.

There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
