Pharyngula

Nifty science blog that occasionally takes on the Creationists, ID proponents etc. of the world.

I lifted this section in particular for comment because it contrasts so nicely with the quote from Mencken I posted earlier. Here is an athiest of moderation, one who has subtlty and tact, but who nevertheless isn't afraid to call out the hypocrisy of the Theocratic enterprise when it arises.

Money quote; "But yes, in general, I do consider religion to be a kind of congealed ignorance, a pattern of behavior and thought that lacks a rational foundation other than tradition, social utility, and perhaps some biological basis."
