Harris Poll on Religion

I missed this poll back in December; Atheists who know that there is no God are increasing rapidly, from 4% in 2003, to 9% in 2013. I'm surprised that it is not more, what with the appeal of the New Atheists to the maleducated know-nothings that the Left has created.

Most Atheists,especially the blog commenters,have very little knowledge on what Atheism is.If they truly knew all that Atheism entails,I'm sure they'd be ashamed to call themselves Atheists.
Atheism,like Islam thrives on public deception to make their ideology seem more platable to the masses.

The key word here is shame. Shame entails the cognitive dissonance between an action and the moral principle that action violates.

Without any principles of morality which are not relativist or consequentialist, nothing the Atheist can do will violate any principle of morality for himself.

So there is no shame for the Atheist.
