Dave Silverman, president of American Atheists, was quoted in the New York Times version of this story as saying: "I have heard many times that atheists know more about religion than religious people,.... Atheism is an effect of that knowledge, not a lack of knowledge. I gave a Bible to my daughter. That's how you make atheists." http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/28/us/28religion.html?_r=2&hp Chris Green York U. Toronto ============= --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
