Basically he's saying if exorcisms are performed more, by casting out the demon, it will balance out the growth in atheism. I guess we're all demon haunted. =)Huffington Post UK | By Sara C Nelson Posted: 31/05/2013 12:42 BST | Updated: 31/05/2013…Continue

How Homing Pigeons Get Home
A survey of the science:
Decades of studies with frosted lenses, magnetic coils or scent deprivation show they use pretty much every clue available. The most difficult one for us to comprehend may be the earth’s magnetic field.
Birds see it, but what it looks like to them, nobody knows. Work by Roswitha and Wolfgang Wiltschko in Germany, among others, suggests that this sense relies on quantum mechanics—that is, birds detect something happening in the eye at a subatomic level. Light striking the retina seems to stimulate chemical reactions that produce pairs of molecules with electrons that are "entangled," meaning they share certain quantum properties. One of those properties, called "spin," is affected by a magnetic field. That effect could tell the bird which way is north.
The above image is from an installation called "Suspended Together," by Saudi Arabian artist Manal Al Dowayan. Kawlture explains:
[E]ach dove carries on its body a permission document that allows a Saudi woman to travel. Notwithstanding their circumstances, all Saudi women are required to have this document, issued by their appointed male guardian.

Red Garter bar; intriguing name. =)
Don is right about other interests besides atheism being useful for social integration. What I find with atheist groups is a desire to be active. They will protest, they will affiliate themselves with a political party, but they only do so to promote their secular beliefs. That is slightly different than sports, hobbies or other interests.
