As to the Gist of Your Post... yes, the whole skeptic/cynics movement being manipulated and deliberately misapplied by the Atheist community; the ruse of Academics & Science has become their soap box from which to Evangelize followed only by today's Internet and how it makes the task of proselytizing infinitely and suppression of any contrary voice, easier The problem, at least for me, is that I'm only about 85-90% non-believer; I cannot justify slamming the door on faith, entirely. I've seen witnessed and experienced far too many miracles/unexplainable things over the past 50ish years; things that our more cynical friends deliberately side-step and cannot explain away, frequently accusing me of being on some kind of psychedelic drug or some such... or of course, their standard of belittling and attempting to discredit anyone with such claims whilst leaning on Russell's House of Cards contention.
NOW... on behalf of the non-believer and more particularly, the membership of this forum; I wouldn't suggest that you come in with a Salvation Army drum core trying to save souls. That would be unwise and to coin a phrase, when in Rome do as the Romans do... (if only the born again idiots of the world would remember that passage and apply it to their lives

I mean the is not any outrage or coverage by the 'skeptics' over things like research papers stating things to do with metal fatigue etc. Its only when it comes down to things that could prove or endanger the mind view of what we see is what we are, things such as paranormal or things which would endanger these 'skeptics' religious views. Is it not this 'skeptic' movement is basically just religious propaganda in disguise? Also are both not 'atheists' and 'believers', are poor judges of world view changing research or discoveries as they have a previous bias which very few indeed can set aside and be completely objective? (both need personal proof of there own for any changes). I guess what I am saying is both the people here who are believers and annoyed by atheists in disguise rubbishing the way they think the world is (as thats most people who would come here) and atheists annoyed by believers presenting some kind of evidence (which may be conclusive or not, but would make them feel uncomfortable or they wouldn't address it) that would rubbish the way they think the world is. So arguments here will lack objectivity of, for instance a open forum, where people are generally less polerized to one world view or another.
