The below implies that atheists ("they") are a group that meets and gets
together and makes joint decisions. I suppose there is an atheist society
somewhere, but very few atheists belong to it.
It also implies that secularists ("they") are such a group as well. You
night relook up the definition for secular.
It's like that ubiquitous "they" used in bad reporting.
HTH, Marnie aka Doe :-)
