Greg Paul's Washington Post Op Ed

Greg Paul, a long-time WASH member, recently had an Op Ed published in the Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/why-do-americans-still-dislike-atheists/2011/02/18/AFqgnwGF_story.html

The article got about 1500 comments.

Nice work, Greg!

Several of the early comments get at this issue of being a confident atheist vs a non-theist or agnostic. Some commentators that
Americans don't really dislike agnostics but might be put off by what one called "pushy" atheists who proselytize in your face on behalf of atheism's beliefs. "
In short, the American people expect both religious believers of all stripes and atheists to be tolerant and respectful of others' views and lives. And they dislike those from both groups who are not."

Hmm if Greg's article got 1500 comments on WaPO I wish that we had 15 or more here.
