Angry Atheists and Anti-Theists

[Alan V]

What gripes me pretty hard is that (in some religious circles) folks are encouraged to disregard the limits of their knowledge-- fundamentalists are a good example.

There will always be a segment of the population who argues from dogma rather than information, and yes, they are largely anti-intellectual. I am pessimistic about their chances of changing too, since they are intellectually lazy or dishonest, and are usually much more interested in advancing socially than it checking their assumptions.

What bothers me the most is that they vote in such numbers.

So perhaps this should not be a discussion about anti-theists so much as about pro-intellectuals.
