He was really good but mostly he was just whining for more money for NASA. As if that was going to happen. Then he got talking about Chrisitanity, God, and creation and what made me laugh is he really sounded /affected  He probably spent more time reading the Bible than most Christians just so he could argue with them. Seriously he needs a new hobby. So many people who hate religion really let their hatred of it dominate their thinking lives.

Probably because religion is shoved down everyone's throat and free thinkers need to be better prepared to defend themselves.

Religions new reason to exist seems to be to pull humanity backwards, to conserve and clash with science at every turn just to keep what little sway they have over civilized humanity.. Religion is an anathema to man and should be dealt with like the infestation it is.

The crazy lengths some atheists go to argue with believers is sad. The worst part is that they tend to just end up being really really bad theologians instead of really good scientists.
Scientists are always fighting for funding. They have to.

I think they go and pick fights with Christians. Their hatred of God and Christianity is intense. They should be able to accept that not everyone believes the same and they do. Have a live and let live attitude.
Many of the atheists here are that way too. /affected

religion is a fascinating topic.
the bible was written by primative people, thousands of years ago. its a look into their daily lives and thoughts. its a social study of an almost alien peoples, written by them.
just because some groups assign some form of mysticism and superstition to it doesnt mean its not worth a read. besides, if normal people knew more about the bible, they mght be able to explain it to their lesser brethren in common terms theyd understand without the hokus pokus getting in the way.

Probably the same reason Christians get offended by gay people who have nothing to do with them.

It's hard to be accepting when religious wackos are trying to push their delusions on you constantly. I'm just supposed to sit back and be tolerant when school board fundies want to teach my son the earth is 6000 years old?
The truth is, Christians feel entitled because they represent a huge majority in America. So they think they should be catered to.

Thats just silly. My parents (well one is, my mom is dead and dad is alive) are Christians who supported gay marriage. It really doesn't help any argument to paint with a broad brush and declare victory. It looks dumb.

What even qualifies as a "scientist?"
Just some idiot with a degree in biology or engineering or some other science? I know plenty of those and of those I know plenty who haven't the slightest idea of what they got their major in. That guy sounds like an intellectual moron

Oh hell no. If I moved it would be to another blue state. I was thinking near Stratton, VT or Lake George, NY, but I will probably stay right here in MA. My family is here and MA is beautiful and I love living in a very progressive state. Probably the most liberal of all states.

Hatred of God and Christianity is very common in the US scientific community. Its the norm not the exception. They are affected.

Because you keep saying so. Yep, got it.
On a more serious note, I've not met too many scientists...but NONE of the ones I have met had any hatred of religion.
I take it, that to make such a broad generalization, you've known a few thousand personally enough to get their 'hatred' expressed directly? Or you have some survey information you're following? Something legitimate, with actual numbers taken from surveying real people?
I ask because the last similar reference I saw to that was pulled from a heavily anti-evolution Christian website, and they cited absolutely zero factual information anywhere that I could find on the website...anywhere. At all. Well, except Bible quotes (if you count that as 'factual information' since it is factually a quote from the book).

If you're not religious, it is definitely much harder and takes a lot more to not resent the religious population. How much life has been lost and time wasted talking to the sky in the name of religion? It takes good people and warps them into fanatics and xenophobes.
Religion aside, spirituality is a part of every person. Something will always need to fill that void for many people. I think many atheists do not understand this.
