Quote: and one which atheists are increasingly, and sadly, beginning to fulfill.
Not something I've noticed. I HAVE noticed a small number of outspoken militants being given disproportionate attention. Many of those seem to be the same people who have made celebrities out of Dawkins and Hitchens.
Here in Australia, it's considered crass to wear one's personal beliefs on one's sleeve. (except for sports of course) Most normal people treat religious proselytisesr and militant atheists with a kind of amused contempt.
My own views are more common than not:I really don't care what others believe and will not argue with an agenda. I will sometimes give an opinion if asked a direct question,but only if I have some regard for the interlocutor.
Internet forums are a different world;anonymous and safe to express honest views..
