Madeleine Bunting from “The Guardian” has unfortunately used Darwin’s 200th birthday as an excuse to express her anti-atheist bigotry. She dares to blame the hate many theists feel against Darwin and his ideas on, get this, atheism. It’s not the fear that the religious have of anything scientific that challenges their beliefs. It’s atheism! Isn’t it interesting how theistic bigotry against atheists is consistently them projecting their issues on others?
To steal from and modify something from a commenter on Pharyngula, here’s a message to Ms. Bunting from “Secular Discrimination Report:” We’re here, we’re atheist, get used to it.
I’d write more, but biologist P.Z. Myers over at Pharyngula does a great job. Be sure to comment on her article (registration required) and let her know exactly what you think.
