RE: Jeff Sparrow on the need to save ourselves from the sickishness of the New Atheists

In 2003 I had knowing met three other atheists in my entire life, two of them while I was still a theist. I decided to use Meetup.com to start a social group primarily for atheists that year because I felt atheists in the USA were too isolated from each other. This was in the heart of South Carolina, a few years before The God Delusion came out. I had identified as an atheist for about eight years by then.

I thought I was just a garden-variety skeptical atheist, but maybe I was on the cutting edge of the 'New Atheism'....

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
