As a devout atheist (if thats possible) I find this post just plain goofy as . I'll just address the couple things I really found goofy.
1st "Religion has no redeeming social value and is a crutch for the weak of mind and body"
WRONG: One example A friend of mine good Christian, Armed Forces kind of guy, if he believed there was no God he would have no problem shooting every human that pissed him off right between the eyes. Now this is ONE guy I persoanlly know and if you ask me keeping a lone gunman off the street is a good a reason as any to support faith and spirituality. And they are like cockraoches for everyone ya see theres gotta be a thousand more that feel the same way that you are not seeing.
2nd "..will an individual be without guilt for his actions"
AAACK ok listen we as a people really do NEED people to feel guilty for some things. I don't think anyone needs a list here, you should get the point if you have a brain.
If you don't see the need for spirituality and faith for a HUGE chunk of the public, you are simply too young to see the realities or just very naive.
Stop giving atheists a bad name

Ok the post isn't very coherant, but I'm writing in the 4 minutes between meetings.
Oh and I call everybody slappy it's not a slam.
