Do yourself a favor, read Stenger's "The New Atheism" if you have not.
It is the "Splitting the baby" argument far too many make.
What does "science and religion are separate but equal" even mean and what does liberalism have to do with it?

Just being silly, in all seriousness, I am talking AVERAGES of what I run into, not all. The important thing is "splitting the baby" is not a good argument. I see that as coming from the good side of our species and liberals reflect morso that empathy for others than RWers of any religion. The downside is that it confuses the issue of rights and ability to demonstrate the credibility of a claim.
