Dawkins said that we don't need religion to appreciate the glories of a sunset - on that I'd disagree because I believe that the enjoyment of anything is in fact a kind of worship of it. Atheism is dispassionate and is appropriate to science for this reason as any emotion belongs to art, religion etc. Logic dictates this.
As for right wing atheism - this is more an anti-something stance ('Let's destroy it, so it can't plague us with its existence!'), than scientific neutrality ('If it exists, it is up to it, to prove it - like a defendant in a court case or the prosecution).
This I hope clarifies the difference and unmasks our old 'friend' (!!@%***+!) pre-judice (pre-judgement) as the villain of the piece, aka GI Joe (General Issues, Joe).
