I hope the Scaly Mail sacks the brain donor who wrote that train wreck of an article. The letter does nothing of the sort. It makes plain that Darwin wasn't a Christian (no surprise to anyone who knows anything about Darwin), but it nowhere mentions atheism.

Sorry, I find serious New Atheism an unintentional parody of the very religion it's against.

Some things are almost beyond parody and what passes for religious beliefs as exhibited by several members of this forum is very much included in that.
