As a European, I am puzzled by the hostility shown in some US quarters to atheism as a point of view. What is considered to be so dangerous or subversive, that for instance, no American politician who wished to get elected could claim to be one.
Richard Dawkins is forthright in expressing his atheism, but it is hardly an issue in his home country. Yet in the States he is vilified and demonised by some religious groups. Could anyone explain what is so abhorrent about atheism? What are the fundamentalists so afraid of?
