Are We Superior?

Freddie DeBoer to his fellow atheists (I include myself among that group) on how they should approach debates with believers:
You don’t argue your way out of niches by constantly thumbing your noses at the people who you’re trying to convert. The question then becomes, are they converting at all? Or are they merely asserting superiority?
We're asserting superiority.

Definitely.
