Atheists have no hope? Wonder if he's interviewed the billion or so atheists, so as to verify that they have no hope? Where's he getting his idea?

I spend most of my time around here trying to pry my christian, jewish, and muslim friends and neighbors away from their extravagant lifestyles and liberal burning of fossil fuels. Ditto for their consumption of animal foods. I tell them they're contributing to global warming, which they don't believe is being caused by human activity. That also is the official position of the supposedly wise Catholic Church. I tell them not to be so materialistic.

I ain't so bad, and I do harbor the hope that I might someday succeed in bringing the religious people around here to the facts.

And by the way. Most atheists don't deserve the "ism" behind their way of viewing the universe.
