(6) I'll just end this by saying that, "when it comes to the subject of gods", words filled with logic and reason DO NOT fail those who are critical thinkers and well-versed in the world's religions, and will not suffer of hypocrisy either. It's imperative that the world increase it's discourse on religion, while only at our great peril might we dismiss or ignore these complex conversations because we think it futile or worthless.
Thank you.

(5) ...preserve our founders' wall of separation between church & state does not deserve the absurd charge you have made against them!

(4) My primary complaint however, is that you have wrongly & unfairly misrepresented the FFRF by embellishing one of their advertising messages with your own erroneous interpretation and then using it to accuse them of being delusional (that's called a straw man). I am a longtime member of FFRF, and cannot speak more highly of Dan Barker & Annie Laurie Gaylor, along with their staff, their integrity, honesty, and vast knowledge of CSS issues. Their difficult & invaluable work to...(cont.)

(3) ...returning the charge of being delusional and practicing a dogma back on the atheist, that that alone somehow makes it a valid/logical claim and therefore appropriate to include in your vid. It's not really that difficult to think it through in order to realize that the claim is wholly nonsensical & spurious. So you have encapsulated a counterfeit of dogma within your video, and it is a terrible shame that the whole of an otherwise brilliant work should be so ruined.

(2) Atheism itself can be no more a dogma than not collecting stamps can be fanatical. Atheism isn't even a thing! It's an 'ism' that wouldn't exist in any form if theism were to become extinct. It is the only 'ism' I can think of that works to eradicate itself through educating people and exposing the ridiculousness of superstition. That's hardly dogma!
IMO, you're seriously mistaking in your view that just because some theists try to defend their delusion by... (cont.)

@charlie1der Atheists like myself might be passionate and very active in opposing the dogma of religions and their respective ideologies, especially when it comes to their intent of infiltrating govt, hampering technological advancement, and stultifying/stupefying our young minds. It is erroneous to categorize this as "dogma".

Overall this song & lyrics is an excellent work. However, IMO you made one particular error in the images which disappoints me. Though FFRF has placed signs stating a message that there is/are no god/gods, Dan Barker has asserted many times that we can't "know". He's called himself an agnostic atheist. "There is no God" is a statement of opinion or conclusion, and in itself does not infer an absolute certainty. Also, working against religious dogma which seeks theocracy does not dogma make!

I hear where you are coming from. However, I believe there are those who use the argument that atheism is a dogma and I will address that even if I don´t agree with it. It should be addressed. I guess the idea is that words fail us when it comes to the subject of gods. Even the quoted verses of Lao Tsu are hypocritical because he goes on to spout off all about "the Tao". To modify and old saying, "talking about religion is like dancing about architecture."

@JesusSavesAtCitibank I was rewatching my video and reading comments and I think I need to acknowledge, for the sake of accuracy, that the image that goes along with the dogmatic atheist reference is not a literal reference to the person in the picture. I honestly don´t know Dan Barker and simply saw an image that seemed to convey the idea that there are those who have dogmatic atheistic ideas. If it were practical I would amend the video. So disclaimer.
