There is a tendency, however, of those active atheists being more of a threat to themselves than to anyone else, with their opinions serving more to alienate themselves from the more mainstream atheists - I'm thinking principally of TJ The Amazing Atheist, P Z Myers and the whole Atheism+ thing.
Compare that to the outspoken xtian fundamentalists who tend to attract an increasing and increasingly strident following and who, more often than not, manage to get their opinions into the mainstream.
That's because liberal media likes to report on what scares them.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
