[edit] Some sources

Hi I probably won't do much on this article but there was an edit conflict and the AfD was closed before I could post this, so here is my bit which contains lots of sources which might help.:)

• strong keep omg! (joke) this is only a thing that is on a lot of courses in schools and universities, and one of the most well known texts on atheism, esp. of the 20th century! [1] the guardian, british reputable broadsheet). Lauded in the British Medical Journal [2]. In use at Uni [3][4]

[5] Christian responses, to be used for NPOV [6][7]. We even have an article Why I Am Not a Muslim which shows it has inspired other books. Someone has also written a why I am not a hindu too.[8] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Merkinsmum (talk • contribs) 21:01, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capital A

The A should not be capitalized; see the third paragraph here. Because, ironically enough, it was moved to a captial A ~2 hours ago, I wont move it until I get feedback. i ^said 07:31, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

• moved back. pretty plain following of procedure.--ZayZayEM 11:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
