Have your beliefs all you want. Keep 'em to yourself and I guarantee the "evangelical atheists" will do the same.

Dawkins is evangelical as any religious group. His mantra is not to get religion out of influencing politics his mantra is to discredit religion and eliminate belief. His focus is on pointing out the logical flaws in religion then essentially calling everyone who believes stupid is very similar to the believer or you are going to hell pitch of the southern evangelical christians.
I will also ask the question to you. When have you ever been persecuted for your non-belief. In canada this does not happen and when the discussion turns to Africa or even the Muslim world just blaming religion is a gross over simplification of the issue.
This board is a good example of the passive attack that occurs on idvidual christians. It really isn't socially acceptable to be religious outside of a religious group. Which is why most people just don't talk about it.
