Gee, I am too. (Lots of atheists on this board?) As far as the religious lunatics one finds in this country, there's a quote from Captain Jean-Luc Piccard that applies. When things were going nuts on his ship in one episode, he started laughing like hell and said, "Sometimes, you just have to bow to the absurd."
It's kind of like dealing with officers who are too full of themselves -- just let them make fools of themselves. (And perhaps help them make fools of themselves if possible...)
I remember one time, though, an evangelist came to my door, and I managed to trick him into admitting that God was a flim-flam artist...
