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.
