I would like to add something to the New Atheists topic. One thing that I see in common among atheists is anger or emotional issues regarding religion even among professional atheist philosophers. For example, in Kitcher's "Life after Faith" he gets pretty negative against religion and he calls sensus divinitatis fruitless, a "fig leaf covering for dogmatism." Another example is Kai Neilsen in his book "Atheism and Philosophy" and I really wanted to hear his viewpoint but him insulting theistic belief as "distorting our view of reality" really threw me off. Of course, not all atheists get emotional or angry and J.L Mackie is a good example. Nevertheless, I'm wondering why do atheists get angry or emotional towards something that does not exist in their minds? I find this pretty puzzling.
