Shrill is what a New Atheist is by definition. Note that it is entirely unimportant what they actually say, nor how they say it. The point is: they're shrill. Always saying terribly extreme, upsetting stuff like 'There's probably no god'. Sometimes even audibly. It's shocking. And there oughtta be a law, really.
Shrill and not shrill
- When Christians teach traditional Christian values that's good and dutiful.
- When Christians teach aforementioned Christian values to children who are too young to think for themselves thast's providing a sound religious upbringing.
- When Atheists teach atheist values that's shrill and undermines good traditional society.
