We know how messed up our culture is. We see it in countless ways. But one of the things I have noticed as a result of engaging with atheists with a European background (like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins) is that they think that our country is a hotbed of Puritanism. They are worried about all kinds of things that I don’t think they have any reason to worry about. But since they are going to worry about it anyway, we might as well use it. We might as well say boo! from time to time.
