Summary: This article is by the author of "Atheists: The Origin of the Species" a book whose stated conclusion is that "we should expect to hear more about atheism in the future for the simple reason that God is back." Because the scientists he chooses to write about have been Christians like himself, he believes there's no need to become an atheist simply to be "scientific" (whatever that means to him), and he further explains that the people who call themselves atheists are doing so not because they happen to lack a belief in any deities, but instead for political reasons.

No sarcasam, I would love to make this argument blazenly! Can you send me some links or articles supporting your statment: "Atheism isn't really coherent..." I've been meaning to pick up a copy of this book, but I would love any resources you have. I feel like I could make this argument in the abstract, but I lack any concrete way to really formulate it.
