I understand what penn's saying, and i don't necessarily disagree to a certain extent. He falls into that common trap that so many proselytizing atheists do whereby they mistakenly think that they understand and can speak accurately of the breadth and personal implications of all forms of theistic belief.
I hope that someday atheism becomes widespread and agreeable to the general public; then we can stop having these discussions every time somebody notable feels the need to make a bold, overstated proclamation about the supremacy of atheism over other belief systems.
