#3This is, arguably, good news.
Though I lament the rise of the people who centre their identity around their lack of religion and go on the offensive against believers. They're not much better than the religious. Religion is not the source of all evil.

Those people are just annoying. The most extreme religious people can be actively harmful to society/their children.

That's not a property exclusive to the religious.

Its a little hypocritical to hate religion when you yourself are part of many religious cults. religion of family, cult of love, religion of shopping, cult of money and success, religion of beauty and youth.

These are strange choices of 'religion' but I think I agree with your comment in spirit. It's saddening to see people who claim to be skeptics, but whose skepticism apparently only extends to organised religion, and not to other harmful widely-held beliefs about the world.

#8For those curious, they're using a Dymaxion map, also known as the Fuller projection[1]. It's named for Buckminster Fuller, and the goal is to reduce skew of shape and size. Notice, for example, the sizes of Greenland and Africa as compared to their heavily-skewed sizes on the Mercator projection.

In light of the rise of political christianity, the rise of militant atheism is both expected and culturally justified.
