More Americans admitting atheism

[Epimethean]

People should really start paying the Four Horsemen tuition...

...Experts have an idea why: The year the poll was last taken, 2005, marked the beginning of a string of bestselling publications on atheism by Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris...

Religion ought to be indebted to the so-called 4 Horsemen for kicking a hornets nest.

Atheist polemics against religion, Christianity in particular, woke up a lot of apathetic sleeping dogs.

...not exactly what Wormwood and Screwtape would have done.

Thankfully, theism of at least the christian variety seems to be slowly following its pagan ancestors' fade to black in the U.S. Not a fast exit, but at least one that can be perceived as atheists challenge strongholds that theists no longer keep by simple grandfather clauses. C.S. Lewis was a fine fantasy and rhetoric writer. If it takes atheists challenging theists to wake them up to the fact that the end times are at hand (for their superstitions), so be it-and how sad for them.
