I suppose I see a difference between the positive stating of any views, including atheist and agnostic, and making negative comments about another's views, including Islam.
Don't you?
If XXXXXX were to call anyone who didn't believe in Christ a hell bent pagan, I would find that uncivil. If XXXX were to say that any particular religion were going downhill, I would find that uncivil.
If anyone were to talk about how they have come to the conclusion that there was no god, and how they were happy with that decision, I would find that quite civil.
If that same someone were to say that anyone who believes in religion was a flaming idiot, I would consider that uncivil.
Is the distinction really that hard to see?
