Atheists are the "Sads"?

Michael Coren had written an article in the Toronto Sun which you can access here about Christmas and how it is the atheist nightmare. He goes on to say that: "Sads? It’s my pet name for committed atheists, who seem to be the most unhappy, lugubrious, neurotic special interest group I’ve ever encountered. OK, let me qualify that — one of the most unhappy, lugubrious and neurotic. I’d forgotten feminists and socialists."

Aside from the fact that atheists are typically feminist and largely left of centre, I still have not met one atheist that exhibited such unusual depressive attitudes. Most I have met are usually the complete opposite. Some goes as far as referring to themselves as "brights". But don't take my word for it. Oh and that little bit about Xmas? Most atheists are more than happy to celebrate. Personally I'd love to have a Solstice Party on top of my Xmas celebration. And just for good measure, even Hitler gets a token mention because what would an article on atheism be without a mentio of Hitler.

I am not going to go point by point, but I suppose either Coren is being disingenuous or obnoxious for ratings...or in reality, doesn't know many or perhaps, any atheists...

Either way, nice straw-man and ad-hominem.
