true...they are seperate....just put them in same bag...as most that believe in god...also support religion....which supports intollerance...

So my takeaway from that statement is that atheists are tolerant of non-atheists?

yet, religion is one's practice...

intollerance is supported by elite "ism"....and that's becasue we fail to let all the dominoes of circumstances or events fall into a natural pattern. we, as humans, (i am biggest offender) project interference....

i'd agree that Zeitgeist is the greatest story ever fabricated.

they cite Acharaya S as the special contributor to the religion section (or at least acknowledge her assistance) Here's a decent critique of her book that they used to base a lot of the information on. http://www.risen-jesus.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=109

robert price on Acharya's book (zeitgeists primary information)

"She is quick to state as bald fact what turn out to be, once one chases down her sources, either wild speculation or complex inference from a chain of complicated data open to many interpretations. One of the most intriguing claims made repeatedly in these books is that among the mythical predecessors of Jesus as a crucified god were the Buddha, the blue-skinned Krishna, and Dionysus. Is there any basis to these claims, which Murdock just drops like a ton of bricks? Again, she does not explain where they come from, much less why no available book on Buddha, Krishna, or Dionysus contains a crucifixion account. . . . When Murdock speaks of the ‘Christ Conspiracy,’ she means it. She really believes that ‘people got together and cooked up’ early Christianity like a network sitcom. And who were these conspirators? The, er, Masons (pp. 334 ff.). It is remarkable how and where some people’s historical skepticism comes crashing to a halt. But it gets much, much weirder than that. We start, in the last chapters, reading bits and pieces drawn from James Churchward, promoter of the imaginary lost continent of Mu; Charles Berlitz, apologist for sunken Atlantis; Zechariah Sitchen, advocate of flying saucers in ancient Akkadia; and of course all that stuff about the maps of the ancient sea kings. The Christ Conspiracy is a random bag of (mainly recycled) eccentricities, some few of them worth considering, most dangerously shaky, many outright looney."(123)

i tried to google it and it has been removed but it did appear in that issue and both Acharya and Price acknowledge it.

The link I provieded mentions none of this...it is about Jesus Christ. And also, attacking the source without discussing the information is typical when you can't refute the evidence, which seems to be the case here.
