Decrepitude is the worse part but just about everything else is better, you may be happy to learn. Leastwise, I'm liking it.
If we're feeling like we're past Christianity, I think the take-away should have more to do with the place of certainty. Sort of once burned, twice cautious. I don't think anything needs to be held with the fervor that leads to smugness and a sneer. Christians shouldn't be envied for those things. It isn't a question of finding the correct object for unblinking certainty but rather learning to do without.

I personally have no issue with atheism, just how the vast atheists present their perspective, it's reactive to theism that sadly comes across with the same vigour.
