No, I didn't lump all atheists together. I understand there are plenty of 63 year old atheists from the Mid West that are accountants, have families, have never been hippies and voted for Ron Paul. This is perfectly true and I accept this.
But there are also plenty of atheists who are 17, who like to take acid, who read books by left wing authors and who get their worldview from the music scene they belong to. This particular culture is the culture that I grew up with, and the culture that I see represented here.
I never said all atheists were the second type, but there are a whole lot of them like that. Maybe it is 30 or 40 percent of the atheist movement.

No it doesn't. What denominations can you name that promote racism or sexism or genocide today? I can't think of a single one. Unfortunately, that could not be said 60 years ago. To balance that unfortunate fact, you have to realize that the abolitionist movement, the peace movement, and feminism have all been influenced by Christianity.
