An idiotic attack on secularism

By Thomas C. Reeves at the History News Network.

Pharyngula took it apart pretty well, but one point he didn't make:

Several things are wrong with this hoary and naive approach to truth. In the first place, there is no such thing as a purely secular person. The innate passion for religion can never be wholly suppressed. Although it wasn’t G. K. Chesterton who said it, this venerable thought rings true: "When men stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing. They believe in anything."...

Millions put their faith in horoscopes, cults, gurus...

Yup, atheists will believe anything, just look at James Randi, who... er... rejects horoscopes, cults like scientology, and every other sort of nonsense. Clearly, you don't have to embrace one brand of nonsense to be innoculated from others.
