Where did you read that atheists claim these ideas as their own?
Like I said, I spend a lot of time on the IIDB boards, and it's a fairly common to see statements like "Religion shouldn't be used as a justification for war" being used as a club against theists.
I'm a theist, and I agree with that statement, and the concept was developed by theists during the Enlightenment, which is why seeing statements like that (or many of the statements made by Sam Harris) annoy me.
Personally, my philosophy is basically Pragmatic, so things like this actually matter quite a bit, as I tend to judge philosophies and religions by the results they produce. While atheism is a fairly reasonable position, when you look at guys like Sam Harris and Dawkins, who basically make their money by being fucktards towards Christians, that I get really annoyed with it. Dan Dennett is closer to the breed of atheist that I prefer.
At the same time, when I look at the immense amount of good being done around the world by Christians and the almost total lack of anything resembling, say, an atheist Red Cross, compounded by the direction that all the atheist nations have gone to to date (China, USSR, France, Cambodia), that I think a Pragmatic argument for Christianity becomes clear.
Don't think that my theism is just for Pragmatic reasons - I do think that Christianity is a defensible stance (and, in fact, a quite probable one, for various reasons) -- but Pragmatic arguments are a sort of common ground that both theists and atheists can participate in.

It makes me happy that a Strangelove clip went to the top 15.

shrug I didn't find him funny.
I agree with what he says about liberty, and that cops aren't blameless for enforcing anti-liberty laws, but to peg them all as fame-seeking assholes is dumb and disingenuous. Anyone who mocks dead cops is pretty fucking disgusting. And no, asshole teens aren't assholes because they're not legally allowed to do drugs and drink (as if that would stop them) or because they're undersexed; today's American teens are probably having more sex than any other time in at least the last several hundred years (the same may go for drugs and/or drinking).
People who proclaim that they know all the reasons for everything wrong with the world (which turn out to be uninformed, nonsensical bullshit) aren't funny; they're really fucking annoying.
I don't believe that today's teens are having more sex today than the last 200 years. That's just really hard to believe. I mean, wtf, our hormones didn't just suddenly develop in last 200 years, they've been around humping behind the pages of history. If anything, today's teens aren't shooting themselves in the foot by marrying the first person they screw. Sure, it happens, but that shit's been happening for as long as organisms were able to fuck. It's just a matter of social conventions. Back in the day it wasn't uncommon for a woman of 14 to get married; and by the age of 16 a boy was a man.
Now we live to be 70, 80, maybe even a 100 years old, so our social maturity is much slower. But goddamned if our chemicals believe a word of it. They're just ready plant some wild oats and spread their bastard progeny across the globe.
Until I hear something from his mouth that I disagree with, I'm going to love the man. I see several of you auto-downvoting, so I'm going to assume you disagree with critical thinking in regards to religion; you disagree with stand up comedy, which can be crude at times; OR you have a past disagreement with Condell in particular.
In all honesty, I don't know much about this man, but here's a quote from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Condell):
"I used to talk about this stuff in comedy clubs until I discovered internet video. Now I get a lot more death threats, but I don't have to deal with drunks."
I automatically like the guy.
hear,hear.....well spoken.
