Fred, I enjoyed your piece. I found it easier to follow hitting text read and sitting back and letting the words and images do their stuff. Sometimes answers aren't the important part.

So while the believers kept right on believering, atheism dropped the beliefs but held tightly to the well-worn, highly effective mythic structure, adapting it to the new world ordered by the evidence. Finding new bottles for the old wine and setting out the “under new management” sign was all it took before business was booming like never before.
Sort of says it all, I think.
It seems sad that we so often want to pick battles in which we feel we are right and the only ones (or one who is) right; and expect to come out on top. Disappointments then can only be angering. I try to live by the rule that to each his own with an overwhelming wish that we learn to respect the ways and means of all sentient beings as long as they don't hurt others.
Why is there this hunger to make gods of our persuasions?

Know History; not just your Folklore.
