To say that two opposing view points that differ only in the god they believe in (transcendent or humanistic), that one falls under the guise of religion, and one falls under the guise of non-religion is preposterous and implies that secularism is somehow neutral and above needing to answer difficult questions. That is an illusion of religious proportions. Atheists believe in something, and most as I laid out above. That is a long, complex, faith-based series of things to maintain in one's understanding of the world.
And 2) Yes my quote tabs are miserably effed up. Still learning these new tangled computers.
