No rational case for God = increasingly desperate attacks on atheists

Which is what we say, and theists don't.

"I don't know if there is a god or not but currently, due to no available evidence that can convince me, I don't think there is".

"I believe in (a) god"

Two very different positions on the same question of 'is there a god?'

The thing is, even if we take it as given that 'we' owe a lot to so called Christian values, my only retort to that is 'so?'. I don't understand why it's suddenly a bad thing to be pragmatic about this; take something you believe is good and reject what is deemed bad.

I am also free to attack and ridicule religion all I want because, after all, that's my right. Religion is just a belief; an idea, and as such it deserves no special rights or privileges. If attacking a belief when it is presented to me as a fact somehow makes me 'evangelical', then I'd like a side by side comparison between the atheist and theist versions to see the disparity.
