>> The passion with which tree-huggers try to ban use of snowmobiles...

That well may be. And I certainly don't agree with the very extreme environmentalists, but they can arguably show that the environmental damage (smog, water pollution, etc) can have a direct effect on them. All things being equal, can you show being an atheist has a direct effect on the well being of the Church goers?

>> I don't agree that they should use violence to impose their views on others.

So you disagree with the means but agree or at least sympathize with the goals?

Believe me, if they could just run adds in L.A. Times to get their goal instead of blowing themselves up, they would do so.
