On sanctimony and annoyance

There are relatively few things more annoying, than the "sensible" centrist who seeks to stand above the argument.

Now what has prompted this is Carlos Amato’s column on “ sanctimonious atheists” – who he holds to be worse than sanctimonious believers.

Just a note here on atheism and religion, being an atheist does not make you better than anyone. Being a good human being is like being a good anything, it takes practise. Athletes don't become great athletes because they believe they are great, they become great athletes by practising.

Just why they practise is separate to actually doing it.

Either I am missing it or he missed making it.
