Ok, so when famous people partake in the free market debate, that is ok, but when no name people do it we are wasting our time? I'll remember this when I am at work knowing I cant even wear a shirt or hat with the word "atheist" on it while they can wear crosses and listen to religious music.
If our species never questioned social norms our species never would have left the caves.

No. I never said anyone was wasting their time. If you are referring to my use of the word 'folly', then please understand that I was speaking of the folly of theist fanaticism found on social media. I never implied that the currently constructed social norm is acceptable in any sense - I believe a huge double standard currently exists. I was expressing my desire to remain hands off on this foray, and I was offering my rear-guard support in earnest. Have at it - tear em up. It's just not my cup of tea
