Or maybe it happened in Biology 101, where the professor contemptuously dismissed anyone stupid enough to believe a bunch of creationist myths. If you took a class in Women's Studies, you likely heard that Christianity is a patriarchal religion designed to oppress any woman fool enough to join it. Of course, not all attacks on faith come from professors. Or you may have opened the school newspaper, only to see a letter viciously attacking the school for allowing a theologian to speak on campus. If you think these attacks appear to be more common on campus than off, you're right.
Atheists do tend to congregate there.
And the reason they reject the Judeo-Christian God with such passion is the subject of a fascinating new book by Paul Vitz. Well, if the public square is naked, then the average college campus is a veritable nudist colony. Until just a few decades ago, America's public square was on the best-dressed list, religiously speaking. That's what Vitz wanted to know. Atheists, of course, have long considered belief in God nothing more than infantile wish fulfillment.
