Try? They effectively DID get us banned from questioning their dogma.

We can handle that herd of cats, can of worms or list of religious apologetics, every time. We have seen them all, several times.

Who's the "we"? those who've continuously, hourly, declared their opposition to religion and spirituality? and who have a forum dedicated to their worldview?

A shadow of his former self - even though he did try to refute the Cetan sequence that, as Eusebius, he'd notoriously refused to look at. (1). But I merely had to trot out the Blowhole progression lockdown proof of a transitional series of fossils. . It was a "Lawyer cigar after winning the case" moment.

(1) in the same thread as his equally memorable claim that atheists had bribed the world's scientists to lie about evolution being a claim that cats came from dogs because they know it doesn't work, and lie that it claims gradual change within species, because it does.

That's us. Got it in one. Mind, the opposition is to the socially privileged influence of religion, rather than the practice of religion itself (1) and to perhaps to the vagueness and religious - oriented bias of the term 'spiritual', because I see that as very human and even scientifically understandable human aspirations, and it grinds on me to see it half -awarded to some supernatural cause.

(1) an easy to understand analogy is Astrology. We skeptics disapprove. We think it is untrue - for very good reasons. We don't prevent people from doing it, gulling the gullible with it and even having a dedicated column in the press. But we are thankful that 'Your Stars' no longer influences government policy or has to be declared as a belief to have any hope of being elected.

When religion - all religion - is no more extant than that, we'll have won the campaign. If anyone is in any doubt of what the Atheist Agenda is intending to achieve, think 'Your Stars' - no more than that, and no less.

For the record, the idea of "the opposition" exist in the mind of extremist/outliers. It is not in any form the representative goal of humanism.

I'm inclined to agree. However, I suggest you take that up with those who oppose us (including one or two atheists, it seems), rather than me and those atheists whom I do not in fact control, organise or issue Orders, Rule -books, party cards and reminders that their titles are due to.

It may not be the goal, but it is a natural consequence of in group / out group behavior. This is not extremist, this is a natural consequence of how our brains evolved. Police and thieves, politics, football, motorcycle clubs, nationalities.
