Giving up atheism is not an option for me; that's like giving up common sense and rational thinking.
I don't see your point in your refered article; it doesn't say anything about the bible there, but even if you find articles/literature to 'prove' your point don't assume that I accept/support/digest anything that is thrown at me even from credible sources.
Your cited article is as handicapped/lame as the people that are surveyed. No need to argue about the article or your advise, simply I find them as garbage even though you may have 'good' intentions.
Why do you feel the inclination to inject nastiness where there was none? Is it because you are an atheist?
