Your response (and others, like Adrian) will have relevance to what I said just as soon as you can point out where I referenced 'atheism'.
Let me save you the bother: I didn't. I described fundy atheists as those who "are fundy about their atheistic views (be what they may)." And they have many views—all of which should be atheistic by definition, one would think. Moreover, there is a difference between 'fundamentalist' (noun) and 'fundy' (adjective), the latter typically serving as a pejorative and clearly what I intended. Judging by the usage of the term, 'fundy' describes bigoted dogmatism—and there surely are atheists who exhibit this.
As I said, "Fundy atheists can and do exist."

I don't expect much would happen. I mean, they know I actively engage atheists in debate. Although I would have to explain that the tagline is from me, of course—lest they think that AtheistForums.org has an official motto that is self-deprecating.

I may have missed it. At any rate, I did provide that very thing, and in that very thread of yours (Msg. #99). It was in response to Adrian, sorry. I missed where you had asked for it. But surely you were following along and saw me provide Adrian with it?
