Fantastic!! And these people are??

I know it's a sever sore point when folks point out that materialistic atheism is akin to religion as far as being faith-based, but there's a reason why it comes up over and over, and not from fundies. Instead of dismissing it as "not this shit again," it would be interesting to examine why the charge keeps coming up.

Very glib answer but you have not addressed the question I raised.
