Why Atheists Should Respect Others' Beliefs

Believe it or not, Donald Pennington's not even my favorite atheist. (Douglas Adams used to be; I've not picked a successor to the title yet.) DP just happens to be the one whose atheistic articles are automatically sent to my e-mail when they're published...

What I'd like to remind those concerned about their "freedom from religion" is that atheists have been dogmatic and dictatorial too...as in the old Soviet Union and as in China through most of the twentieth century. And they've been violent. And they've also done more to destroy their nations than religious dictatorships, even the deservingly detested papacy, ever did.
