There was a religious discussion on and he did the very catholic trick of posting the "Say whatever, i will pray with my community and we will feel great. i dont care about y'all".
Most religious people do that but catholics love it. They get their self reassurance from the gathering/family/you dont get us/we feel sorry for you thing.
And if you watch the westboro church documentaries, their whole shtick is just an angrier version of that. "We're praying, we're a gathering, we have something that you dont understand". The feeling of being misunderstood is a great energy source for groups. Especially if some misguided people act like they're stupid or insane.
The true atheist reaction shouldnt be indignation, but a bemused indifference. To an atheist any form of religion has no more thretening power than a dog wearing a hat.
