Cosmos with Neil De Grasse Tyson Premieres Tonight

[Esquilax]

I find that most atheists are just as bad as most theist at failing at identifying when they are being fed an agenda.

And I am not saying there is something wrong about pushing an agenda...even if you employ undertones to do it. Persuasion is how we grow. What is wrong...what is sad really.....is for a reasonably bright person to not recognize it.

I see it as more of a side effect than an outright agenda though; it just so happens that fostering a healthy respect for science and facts and learning overlaps with fostering disrespect for religious fantasies. Scientists aren't anti-religion any more than firemen are anti-fire.

They're anti-ignorance and anti-burning to death, respectively. You're just sour because your chosen belief system uses the former regularly, and is known to have used the latter in the past to get its way. These damn secular ideals are taking your toys away!
