→Wired saying "atheists tend to be quarrelsome, socially challenged men..."
Either the article uses the terms that you ascribe to it, or it does not. It would be intellectually dishonest to say that Vox Day's, whoever the heck that is, interpretation of the article represents what the article actually says, especially given the extract that Sharon provides, which really runs counter to that interpretation.

::I have not finished reading the article yet, but I did replace some of the material. Within 7-14 days (maybe sooner), I plan on reading the article in its entirety. In addition, I don't recall using the phrase "all atheists" or using similar terminology. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 16:10, 14 July 2012 (EDT)

:::The phrase "atheists are (or tend to be) ______" is a blanket statement that leaves the reader with the impression that '''''all''''' atheists are _____. Terms such as "many", "some", "a few", etc., quantify the statement, and give the writer more leeway to believably protest his/her intent when readers disagree with him/her. This has been a MAJOR point in my arguments with you over your "fat people are atheists" statements. You are a master at blanket statements, and then refuse to rectify them.
