I’ve lived a large portion of my life without the internet.  Most people my age don’t feel comfortable with electronics and tend to shun them.  I have to say, being a non-believer and having great contempt for the role religion plays in my life and having no hope that that could change, things like this Colbert Report give me some encouragement.  If religion is ever to be put in its proper place, I think the internet may play a very significant role.  The internet abounds, I am discovering, with intelligent arguments on this subject.  Type in atheism and it’ll take you a year to read the info.  If you’re interested, check out whygodwonthealamputees.com

A fine segment that would be fit for the “Half-Hour News Hour” show on Fox.  I wholeheartedly agree that we should embrace the alternative to identifying false, harmful and irrational beliefs - live dreamily in a PC wonder-land where we can pretend superstitions don’t need to be confronted.

Is atheism a religion?  Not by any standard that approaches reliability.  Even organizations whose objective is to encourage the growth of atheism don’t meet the criteria (of Beardsley and Beardsley, for example), yet somehow shows like South Park (Wii episode) and even the Colbert Report pass along the easy myth.

What’s more, the PC-brigade can be weighed in a similar manner: distinguishing between right and wrong sides of an issue, implying a lack of understanding or sophistication for the other side, etc..  Colbert’s barb is reflexive.
