Sulla - would you consider that atheists merely reject evidenceless assumptions of God. This is nothing to do with meaning but assuming that meaning is a human construct then surely an atheist can enjoy more meanings and have less guilt issues with changing their mind about meanings than someone who has metaphorically put all their mental eggs in the basket of a god. The ulimate meaning of life was different for an ancient Egyptian Ra worshiper than it is for a modern day Southern Baptist and either would struggle to derive additional meaning outside of the confines of their respective dogma.

Botch - you may call it idiotic but it's that attitiude that we atheists / rational thinkers/ agnostics have to fight every day - stand for reason against a variety of woo and get called stupid and disrespectful. There is a never ending stream of poor logic and thinking that has to constantly be overcome time and time again before anything of use occurs in a discussion. Just one outspoken believer in a group will drag the discussion all over the place demanding that their weakly thought out god delusion must be considered and treated as of critical import and of greater validity than all of science and human knowledge because they have a personal relationship with <name of god>. You seem to willfully forget as usual that the believers are the ones who send out missionaries, it is the believers who lobby constantly for laws to be passed that privilege them, it is believers who fly aircraft into buildings, it is believers who hold up a meeting or a meal to say meaningless words to invisible people, it is believers who picket funerals or use them as an opportunity to preach their version of how you are unworthy. It is faith and those who give their minds over to evidence lite methodologies that hold back mankind. Your first world problem of not having a good enough answer to deal with the rise of skeptical enquiry and a group of people no longer willing to give shoddy thinking a mental pass is heartbreaking.
When it comes to faith I will be utterly condescending because its is all too often intellectual imbecility. No sooner do you explain to one believer why evolution is factually correct than the next one pops up and starts on about how a global flood occurred or Brahama sits on an island looking out on a lake of milk or that Jehovah will destroy all unrepentant people yadda yadda yadda. Its like disney for the intellectually retarded with all day passes when trying to discuss reality with a group of edit** committed believers.
This world is at danger from religious idiots (Bush - God told me to invade <country with oil>) and it is almost certain that a large number of coming wars, conflicts and terrorist attacks will be done by the faithful because of their faith. Militant atheism is a necessary response to god fearing bigotry and anti science rhetoric. The most advanced country in the world is crippling many of its students by teaching them barking mad ID. For the first time ever society has matured enough to allow room for public disbelief.

Agreed cofty - in fact this forum allows me to express and explore opinions that would have my extended family kicking me out of their houses for.
All to often a believer thinks they are giving a gift when they share some new bit of mythology (like my mother giving my kids Book of Mormon hero cards from her last visit to Utah) and get all huffy when confronted or questioned - especially when the first mystical brush off answer is further queried or rejected as fluff. Regarding my mother I'd be happily stunned if she would acept The God Delusion and read it but that ain't gonna' happen. Belief has been culturally taught as a one way street.

FHN - I suspect you sometimes forget this is a discussion forum. Should you go to speakers corner in London I think you may also find people sharing strong opinions and shock horror - disagreeing! You seem to like sharing pretty pics and having yummy moments of reinforcment of all faith / spiritual beliefs etc. You might like to add this hangout to your web links as it sounds right up your street. http://pinterest.com/ Seriously - my wife can't get enough.
