sandyRoe “... while a fervent theist and a vociferous atheist might be seen by some as two sides of the same coin, they're very different creatures.”
An atheist and a theist are only viewed as two sides of the same coin by people who haven't got the faintest idea what they're talking about. On that we agree.
One party advocates the stifling of ideas, the suppression of free thought and expression, the demonisation of entire races of humanity, the deliberate concealment of sexual crimes, the genital mutilation of children, the denigration of women, and wholeheartedly embraces the idea of a 'thought' crime.
The other party advocates free thought, free expression, sexual freedom and equal rights for all.
