Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Ah, quite right. Secularism is a group of which atheism is not a strict subset. You may consider that point cheerfully conceded. And yes, 'libertarian' is another one of those words that's become distorted with time, especially when capitalised. I call myself a liberal, but so many people these day...

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Atheism is that, I fully agree, and a person's atheism conveys no information about their politics. But if we're talking about an atheist movement? If we mean a movement to make more people atheists, a proselytising campaign, then yes, that would also be politically neutral. But if we mean a secula...

podcast stuff One time while doing Angry Mac Bastards our third partner's audio failed in the awesomest way possible. Basically his local recording ended up sounding like an hour of Daft Punk.
