I'm an agnostic, I'm neither for or against atheists, but will admit that fundamentalists of every stripe "Pi$$ me off". Think the links in the original post are quite clear on that.

You're not giving credit to my previous comment that there are a "spectrum" of religious beliefs involved with the Militant Fundamentalist element.

By my statement that they don't "worship at the same altar" you're implying that I've classified them as being atheist, which I have not.

So when you take it personally (you're a tad insulted, right?), when you assure that I've identified those manipulators as being atheist because they're taking advantage of the hard core religious element, you've presumed incorrectly.

You may want to review my other posts for comparison, for further perspective.

But thanks otherwise for the feedback.
