David Silverman is a groper.

Wait a tic - does this mean that being an atheist doesn't automatically produce moral behaviour and ethical conduct??
Guess I'd better become a Baptist, since they never, EVER turn out to be horrible people. Boru

And without delay Peter went quickly out of the synagogue (assembly) and went unto the house of Marcellus, where Simon lodged: and much people followed him...And Peter turned unto the people that followed him and said: Ye shall now see a great and marvellous wonder. And Peter seeing a great dog bound with a strong chain, went to him and loosed him, and when he was loosed the dog received a man's voice and said unto Peter: What dost thou bid me to do, thou servant of the unspeakable and living God? Peter said unto him: Go in and say unto Simon in the midst of his company: Peter saith unto thee, Come forth abroad, for thy sake am I come to Rome, thou wicked one and deceiver of simple souls. And immediately the dog ran and entered in, and rushed into the midst of them that were with Simon, and lifted up his forefeet and in a loud voice said: Thou Simon, Peter the servant of Christ who standeth at the door saith unto thee: Come forth abroad, for thy sake am I come to Rome, thou most wicked one and deceiver of simple souls. And when Simon heard it, and beheld the incredible sight, he lost the words wherewith he was deceiving them that stood by, and all of them were amazed. (The Acts of Peter, 9)

If we are looking for an ideological trigger for Silverman's moral depravity, why not focus on the fact that, politically, he is conservative? Yeah, that's it. His atheism has nothing to do with it. It's his politics.
Otherwise we have to assume that one's moral character exists independently of one's worldview. Where's the fun in that?  **** On a side note, as much of an idiot as O'Reilly is, I think Silverman could have really done better in that interview. He should have pounced on that ignorant shit. Instead, he was baffled by it, and we got a meme. I think I would have responded to O'Reilly's inane commentary better than Silverman. But then again, I've had an entire lifetime of living in the Appalachians as training to prepare me for such moments. 
Fun Fact: I always thought this picture was actor Michael Pena from some movie I didn't see.
