Re. the New Atheists: yes, gravitational attraction brought them together into a self-congratulatory cult, but... I still find it a bit perplexing that those of us who don't ascribe our existence to one of a selection of random unfalsifiable beings (assigned for random cultural reasons) are clumped under the grouping "non-believers". As though we're the problem - silly old us for not believing in things that are designed to be unprovable. I'd guess most of us believe in lots of other stuff (gravity, evolution, etc), just not God. It would seem more rational for the "non-atheists" to be lumped together, but that just me being silly again.
