I fully agree with the author. I don't think that the New Atheists are too belligerent or too rude. Far from it. To be quite honest religious people are far more rude a large portion of the time. Now, you shouldn't walk around calling people names. But only the rabid 16 year-old atheist-because-I'm-a-rebel crowd say things like what some of the anti-abortionists or anti-gay marriage religious crowd do. Besides, it is unfair that when someone says atheists are amoral and immoral and then goes on to point out the atrocities of Stalin and Mao, atheists can't counter with Hitler, the Crusades, and the pogroms of Russia, nor can they point out the non-religious background of morality.

Oh, and I love the title. Good to see Firefly/Serenity penetrating into our culture.
