Bit of a mouthful - but I do think it's hard to ignore that, as a certain breed of atheist/rationalist - though hard to define - we happen to share a lot of common ground in opinions and sentiments, are here as a sort of community, and can be mobilised as a sort of movement for certain issues.

Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
