If you're a big ole idiot, the arguments for and against things aren't nearly as important as the sociological implications of holding that position, I think.

Whereas I think I'm unsure of the point you're trying to make.

I'm saying that ideas can be trendy, and the trendiness of atheism has as much to do with it's growth as it being correct.
