Perhaps my article about dangerous feuds between theists-atheists is worth discussing. It appeared in the April 2012 Issue of American Atheist Magazine. The link is:

atheist

Comments will be appreciated.

It is a testimony based on a diary kept between 1946 and 2004 (in the USSR, Poland, France and the USA).

The more people know about proletarian dictatorship the less likely will we experience it.

I read your article and I think it made some valid points. One simply can't attempt to reconcile questions of science and religion simultaneously using the same set of analytical tools. People on both sides of the theist-atheist debate would do well to realize this, not to end the debate, but to end the futile portion of it.

I would change that to "can be dangerous." I also agree that there is no need for this conflict. In regions where religion conflicts with science, religion is invariably wrong, and should be ignored. There are topics regarding which various religions have various things to say, but to which science does not pertain. For these topics we can't know if the religions are wrong, but I strongly suspect their near perfect record for inaccuracy is safe.

So all-in-all, we're better off ignoring religions.

In fact, tour post is a perfect example of how inflammatory the arguments can be. If you are going to ignore religion, then ignore it--don't feel obliged to get up on your hind legs and mark your territory at its mere mention.
