As an aside to all of this, it's interesting how a zeitgeist can occur. There is a lot of talk of atheism these days and the more talk there is the more we seem to notice all the other things about atheism that are being discussed, so we talk about it some more.
I am finding it interesting that the most Atheist children's books, Bill Pulman's trilogy His Dark Materials, has been made into a film and the first book, The Golden Compass, will be released in December 2007.
As the Narnia series is to Christianity, so this series is to Atheism.
Mark my words, it will unleash a shit storm of "controversy" the likes of which Harry Potter could never dream. I was surprised it was made into a film given the ultimate human secularist message of the series.
But I suppose that is the nature of a zeitgeist.
