Typical of Old-Style Atheists: He Is Not Brimming with Bile, Venom and Hatred As So Many Are In Our Sad New World.

 Theodore Dalrymple is an atheist, but has criticised anti-theism and says that "To regret religion is, in fact, to regret our civilization and its monuments, its achievements, and its legacy". Raised in a non-religious Jewish home, he began doubting the existence of a God at age nine. He became an atheist in response to a moment in a school assembly. Wiki.
