And I'm sure the chap would have described himself as a rationalist and not prejudiced.

I certainly don't find that shirt funny and if it was worn by a colleague I would report them or discipline them for it depending on whether I was in authority over them or not.

I don't think it is reasonable to insult anyone's beliefs. I dislike people who want to shove their beliefs on to me, either by preaching or legislation but there I object to their actions not their beliefs.

I'm glad it's not just me.

I have no objection to someone disagreeing with me and wanting to change my views. After all debate is a good thing. Throwing insults isn't debate.

It's those vocal atheists who display all the habits they complain about in others.

Hypocrisy is hypocrisy

I approve of debate.

I'm against people deciding that they're right so it's fine for them to insult those who disagree with them.
