1.  That was one of my favorite pieces ever on the subject.
2.  The worst injury for atheists is self-inflicted:  many assign themselves the burden of proof that theism is insane, as opposed to simply mistaken.   Many sincerely believe that no serious scientist would ever be a theist.  
Many have never interacted with somebody like you, Dr. G.  They call Francis Collins or Hugh Ross names, but with you they have to interact.  It's a cognitive dissonance.  And I'm blinkin' likin' it.  ;- )

Much less that such a consciousness should evolve feelings of guilt or love.  (This became a major pillar in C.S. Lewis' proof of God's existence, the assertion that such feelings could not exist without Him.)
