I think an early front runner for 2008 would have to be Mike Huckabe for his "We should ammend the Constitution to conform to the Bible" BS

2. I Don't Believe in Atheists

I would totally agree with this article in general principle. I think Chris Hedges is one of those people who, like a lot on my friends, are really atheists but refuse to give up the terminology. Perhaps, in the past, religion and faith were necessary as part of our evolutionary journey. But, I think the human race (some of them) have evolved and grown to a point where we don't need a imaginary force to tell us what we already know is good for our society and our species. We need to do the things Chris talks about without resorting to invoking the concept of "god" or "faith"

Does it come complete with a year's worth of feces and urine for all the animals in the world?

4. Study: Religion is Good for Kids

I would agree with locri. The study mentions nothing about other arguments that occur in the home such as over money, politics, or inlaws. Any of these could cause distress to children. Also, the study fails to take into account the benefits of social interaction in kids at an early age. Unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult for atheists to get their kids involved with social groups and this can cause problems in school later on. I think that the reason this study showed an improvement in religious kids was because of the social development not necessarily the religious aspect to it. I would be curious to see a study done on kids of atheist or agnostics that have a weekly social event with other children
