Normal? But then what is normal? How about "not a fundamentalist"?

I think it's a bad idea to back down from a bully, because the only source of their courage is your fear. In that sense, the OP has a point-- those who don't directly challenge the radical elements within their faith are unwittingly strengthening them.

It would be better than atheists challenging them. Perhaps you would like to convert so you can challenge them as a non-atheist? A cunning plan there.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
