Wait a second...
Somewhere the point of argumentation got lost its not about winning. Its about the art of sound, valid and creative argument. This art is lost on laymen theist. (who is usually the target, not the theologians)The laymen theist isn't arguing he talks hes attempting conversion. It may seem like an argument because emotions get boiled but its not. The atheist may very well being using the tool box of argumentation but the theist is not. Arguing needs two actors, who are fully aware there is an argument at hand.

Agreed. My first thoughts upon reading about Dunning-Kruger were about the Tea-Bagger movement...

@Aiden
The Dunning-Kruger effect explains ALL of Sarah Palin's base. ;)

The Dunning–Kruger effect:

A cognitive bias in which "people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it".

Our Founders Were NOT Fundamentalists

This article over at HumanistNetworkNews.org goes over the answers to the common claims of the "religious right". A handy resource.

you might be interested in my (somewhat propagandistic - certainly not 'objective') 'atheist pamphlet' at atheistprinciples.tripod.com, written with the intention of giving it to any religious campaigners that try to convert me...
comments would be appreciated

Seems like you used kid gloves, actually.

The interesting thing about the Catholics - they include a ton of stuff that isn't even in their book.

Half the stations of the cross are not there.

"What about The Shroud of Turin argument? I don't understand what Christians think it is proof of. Please educate me my atheist brothers and sisters."
Black Sectarian Thought

Shroud is proof of only one thing: disdain for science. Three separate labs have carbon dated to over a 1000 years after Christ supossedly lived and died. It's a fake and anyone with a brain who also happens to also be literate should realize it by now.
