BRNK:
I was not by any means speaking about atheists, in fact I've not heard Pitt declare himself to be one. He merely said he's irreligious. I was actually thinking mainly of people like Maher (who is probably not an honest atheist as you'd define it) and the myriad agnostic/laconically "Christian" people one finds in this country. Those are the people who are all about this "blanket" tolerance you refer to.
At any rate, it's good to know that genuinely atheistic thinkers out there take a stand against blind tolerance that lacks standards. I agree with their conclusions, even if I disagree with their foundations.
I am curious though, how would you define a "religious moderate"? Is it someone who's not a fundamentalist, but isn't theologically liberal either? Or is it something else in your point of view?
