Here's the question. I know I'm probably a bit biased when it comes to religion because I'm not religious. At all. And then you see these fundies, and even though you *know* the vast majority of religious people are perfectly reasonable people... you end up twisting your views a little to see all religious people as potentially creepy and illogical and, well... insane. In a bad way. After all, they all believe in weird things that can't be proven, right? Right? It's all fascinating, but... different.

But I'm told that many religious people have the same views about non-religious people. And I know full well that most people on either side don't recognize their own bias when they walk right into it.

So, here's my question: Are there any atheist/agnostic fundies out there I haven't encountered before? Because I'd like to see, just for my own edification. I'm not sure if my belief that there aren't any is because, well, there aren't any, or if it's because I just don't see them as much/clearly.

(Oh, and click the scary link. Thanks)

Just as an aside, I attended a UU congregation for the very first time yesterday. I was very pleasently surprised, and I intend to go again next week. I think that in any large group of people there are bound to be a few token weirdos, and I don't expect UU to be much different, but overall there was a prevailing feeling of refreshing sanity among the membership. It's a rare thing to find an example of like-mindedness where the similar factor is that the minds are open.
