Robert Metteta in his article entitled On the tolerance of Christians toward Atheists, and vice-versa is a classic example of spineless pandering to christians. He suggests it is more prudent for us to be to be less critical and more respectful.
He points out what he believes to be some of the atheist failings including:
‘…They also do not capitalize the names of any religions, … which is simply an open act of disrespect.’
Why should the word for a particular religion get a capital letter? what about astrology? is there a difference? And Robert, why do you feel christianity, god or judeism, etc deserves a capital letter when atheism does not?

In America, Christianity is getting stomped out by our government and liberalism. We have more atheists than ever before. So in a sense, Atheism is getting the capital letter. If you don’t believe me, look at our lawsuits and political correctness, and intolerance of religion in our country. The number is staggering on how many people hate religion and are in positions to make rules and laws that go against people’s spiritual beliefs.
