You may find it best post, but I find it entirely inaccurate.

The definition of an atheist isn't someone who is disinterested in the beliefs of others. Atheism is quite simply a failure to believe in the existence of a higher being. In this sense, Rod's definition of "true atheism" is entirely misleading.

Sure there are plenty of atheists who fit this discription, who couldn't care less what fairies people want to believe in. But equally there are plenty of atheists who recognise that 'private worship' simply doesn't happen - there are plenty of areas of our society where the religious views of some are foisted on others. For example, Tony Abbott's veto over RU486, or the religious indoctrination of children who are too young to make their own informed decision, etc.
