If the world were "laid back" then none of this god stuff would be anything more than a debate. I like you wish more people were laid back. But atheists didnt start or want this fight. We are expected to keep quiet and take it. That is hard to do when religions all around the world seek to be a governing body.

You may not agree with all of this, however the overall message and the last sentence are exactly what you just said. Meet official RRS poet Jamie Kilstein (yes he's a very outspoken atheist):

So long as you are not accusatory, you will do fine here. Most atheists are on pins and needles because we have been disenfranchised from public discourse in this country. Some of us are very sick of that and are now speaking up. The xtian right has been organizing for years. Most of us have always thought that this country would never become a christian nation, boy were we wrong. So now we have to fight for our constitutional rights, much like the civil rights movement, the women's movement and the gay movement. We are considered second class citizens and every time we speak out against injustice, we are automatically attacked and sent death threats (much like that kid in the news lately). So you see, we tend to be a bit in defense mode and offensive sometimes because we feel as if this is the only way we can get through. But to the theists that want to debate without accusatory remarks we are open for discussion. As a matter of fact we welcome it.
