If someone can be good without attending services or reading the Bible, then why is this a "technique" of evangelical atheists? It seems that them pointing this out doesn't force their beliefs on anyone else, but simply states that religion isn't required to be a good person; this is in line with atheistic beliefs, and to me it doesn't seem to infringe on religious beliefs at all. Would it not help the article to make a better case by removing such an assertion, which seems to merely restate atheists' belief system? The only problem I see in this article is that it seems to deny that there is any validity to their arguments, which you yourself said exists. -Otru

: The statement, often used by [[evangelical atheists]], that "one can be good without attending religious services or reading the Bible" is grossly misleading.  It's like a tobacco company claiming that "one can smoke a pack-a-day of cigarettes and live to be 100."  Sure, one in a million can.  The other 999,999 are misled by the argument.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:20, 31 December 2007 (EST)
