What kind of atheist are you?

Nice quiz. Here's my score:



You scored as Scientific Atheist. These guys rule. I'm not one of them myself, although I play one online. They know the rules of debate, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and can explain evolution in fifty words or less. More concerned with how things ARE than how they should be, these are the people who will bring us into the future.

Macauley on Religious persecution

I've started reading "In the name of Heaven" by Mary Jane Engh and in the preface, there was this rather perceptive quote I'd like to share:

"I am in the right, and you are in the wrong. When you are the stronger, you ought to tolerate me; for it is your duty to tolerate truth. But when I am the stronger, I shall persecute you; for it is my duty to persecute error." - Thomas Babington Macauley, Critical and Historical Essays"
