    I know it’s a traditional and acceptable variant spelling, but somehow I only ever see the term ‘Moslems’ thrown around by dickchodes. It’s convenient, if a bit perplexing.

    Can Randroids really be considered atheists? They, and the olde-school Stalinists really seem to be wrapped in religious fervor that would make Pat Robertson look like a rationalist.

    John, that’s a question I’ve often asked myself. Stalin, for instance, appeared to consider himself a god of sorts. In that case, could he truly be an atheist? Could anyone who genuflects (figuratively or literally) in front of a picture of Dear Leader really be atheist? Haven’t they just changed one god for another?

    Same goes for free market fundamentalists. For them, market apparently is some sort of omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent god..
