who was kicked out of Boston Atheists, and wants to portray that situation as an example of intolerance by atheists comparable to Christians denying birth control coverage to employees, or opposing same-sex relationships.

The same guy who personally thinks abortion is murder.

The same guy who is "unsure" whether a priest who learns about child abuse should be required to report it.

This same guy is admonishing anyone who doesn't want to work with the people who agree with him on all of those issues.

Pretty fucking ridiculous if you ask me.
