The breed of atheist that drives me nuts is the one who spouts scientific theories without actually knowing much about them nor their context and why the person behind it was even thinking about it.
I'm well aware of their backgrounds. In fact, religious institutions did everything in their power to supress and ostracise them.

Again the challenge remains to explain the natural world more comphrehensively that those scientists. Popes Prophet sand Pastors sure as heck aren't.
