The Irrational Atheist

I once wrote something along these lines:
[T]he very idea that one’s personal opinion has anything to do with the existence or non-existence of God is fundamentally irrational.
The writer, in this instance, is one "Vox Day," author of The Irrational Atheist: Dissecting the Unholy Trinity of Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens. For my dissections of that trinity, and of irrational atheism, see:
