Clearly I need to broaden the choices available in my poll. But yes I did fid there was a wealth of unsubstatiated claims made by both the host and the doctor(if indeed he is a real doctor). Poor research and poor prosletyzing(sp?)

So, alcoholic, non-existent father AND a lesbian mother, does that mean I'm totally screwed??? As far as the clip, I found it odd that the host mentioned that atheists have learned to "suppress and deny the evidence we see all around us". Huh? I thought it was the religious folk that suppressed and denied the evidence around us. I mean seriously, aren't suppression and denial the key to any good religion?

I am a bastard child. Where do I fit? (rhetorically)

"Deffective"? I believe that the kids these days would call that "spelling fail", which itself is a grammar fail.

…and if that's the case, then this video is just an exercise in furthering bigotry. Substitute communist for atheist and we are back in the 1950's

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. I am now wishing that I had spent more time in constructing the poll. I think we have made a point through – that there is not even a strong correlation between atheism and bad fathering.

Like Eric I had to choose the first option even though my Dad's dead. Additionally I didn't have a particularly good or bad relationship with my Dad and left home at 16 and moved around the country so didn't really get to know him all that well. But overall I'd say it was a good relationship, and I'm an atheist.

Religious fail tards passing the fail buck.
