   ABC News [1]reports:

     Given the increasing religiosity of American culture, it's perhaps
     not too surprising that a new study out this month finds that
     Americans are not fond of atheists and trust them less than they do
     other groups. The depth of this distrust is a bit astonishing
     nonetheless.

   An odd choice of words -- "Americans are not fond of atheists." Where
   are atheists from, Athea?

   Anyway, the depth of distrust not too surprising if you read what
   atheists (and people who think they're kind of sort of maybe atheists)
   say (even around here!) about believers. Or are we "Americans"
   oversensitive?
