I could not get past this section:
/ Did these killers— and the millions of people in the Middle East who celebrated their actions— ack an innate conscience? Or did their innate consciences house different contents than those of Americans who reacted with horror to what they did?/
The argument these and other atheists are making is that religion is, by design, overriding any innate sense of morality we might have built in. Or as Steven Weinberg put it:
/With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion/
