You sound like them!
Zero?
They are supposedly liberals (this is DU after all) and religious. I think it's very illuminating what liberal religionists (not just here but in the news and opinion media) are saying and assuming about us. I don't mean the discussions the usuals have over there.... their logic is nonexistent. Who cares what the regulars think about the outrageous stuff they post? But their attitudes, and the general attitudes toward atheism is of value for us to know.... and discuss rationally..... which isn't gonna happen over there. It must happen here.
It's good for us to know and discuss what prominent religious leaders are saying about atheists in the media. Also what fads and trends are emerging and being supported....like the current misinterpretations of whatever Dawkins has tweeted, or what words are being redefined, or what "studies" are showing what is supposedly wrong with atheism.
These things are taken up by liberals and even other atheists to make us surrender and dismiss their damages to us.
Ignoring them does not make them and their influence go away.
Discussing issues these religious liberals may bring up and (horrors!) champion is part of what we should be discussing here.
Let's not just make this board an island and echo chamber as well.
