Whatever happened to the 'old style atheists'? - You know the ones I mean - they did not believe in God but didn't object to those who do. They noted that Christianity was part of our traditions and culture - so they accepted its place in society.
They didn't gripe about religious education but figured that most people would give up on 'religion' but at least they would have had sufficient information before doing so.
They were not loud, objectionable and malicious - naturally, with out and out marxists as the only exception to this.
Today, these negative features of purest nastiness are found extensively in large pockets across the whole of the liberal left.
