^ Anything to add?
No, certainly nothing that has not been covered much more effectively by you guys.
I have decided to keep my posts to a minimum here.
I am now a bit of an EAN voyeur, reading as much as possible but keeping my comments mostly to myself.
With regard to "Atheist Manifesto"....it is excellent.
The reason, rather than being whiny, self pitying twaddle like the works of Dawkins and Harris, it is instead a sound deconstruction of not just Christianity (which seems to bear the brunt of most Atheist cryassing) but Judaism and Islam.
It does a wonderful job of historical philisophical root-finding.
Both the roots of Monotheism and the forces that drove it to power, and it's counterargument, which was ruthlessly driven to ground and buried.
A fascinating dispassionate discussion, rather than the typical whiny, self important pseudointellectual atheist mumbo-jumbo that takes on the very characteristics it professes to loathe.
