when did i ever say that was the point? all i'm saying is that the tone of this article is retaliatory, not explanatory or even-handed.
it cleanly sets up the argument that atheists believe in nutty things, so their belief in atheism is also nutty too. christians don't believe in nutty things therefore their belief in religion isn't nutty either. etc.. this is because the 'negative' focus is on the atheists, with only positive focus on the theists.

and no, i'm not an atheist.
