I think we have so many similarities, yet so many deep differences. I often think that the way [liberal atheists] get vilified is so unfair, and that actually my values, morals etc., of love, unselfishness, really overlap hers so much.

Far as I can tell, no more unfair than the vilification of fundamentalists.
I find fundamentalists and atheists often to be equally artless—fundamentalists insist that they don’t believe in
evolution, and atheists insist that a circular teleology—
natural selection—confirms a directionless and ultimately purposeless evolution.
But of course the fundamentalists will outbreed you atheists, so perhaps, Lizzie, you should reconsider your atheism . . . it’s been said that it’s better to be red than dead.
