Atheists on TV

From the Australian TV show Compass, we have a documentary, "Atheism - An Australian Perspective".

They chose to talk with 'moderate' atheists and present a good, touchy-feely viewpoint. The atheists interviewed hint that religion is necessary for many people and we need to learn to all get along. I don't disagree with this view but I think it should have been said that people are free to have religion but they must recognize its place: keep it personal. The only truce I can see with religion is if the religious accept that they keep their religion applying only to themselves and not attempting to enforce it on others - which, of course, especially applies to the children of the religious!
