But if you frequent the Religion forum here, I expect you will be shortly disabused of being unwilling to break bread with liberal theists, so to speak.
I am as fiercely militant as any atheist. But ya gotta have heart. Love the religious, but challenge the pastors, priests, etc. and give no ground when they make falsifiable claims, or those outright against demonstrable facts.
But there aren't enough atheists, no matter what they call themselves, to do this without liberal theists who are our natural allies. As Phil Plait said, Don't be a dick!
I try to get along with folks here at DU. Not every issue is worth getting the whole room into chair throwing. Getting along with the religious is one of those issues here. I know I've had my knuckles smacked more than once. Ouch!
However, I sympathize with your sentiments.
