say what? (Epistemology) (The atheist delusion)

The problem with this forum in general, and recent replies in this post in particular, is they suppose [nay, require] the participant to be the equivalent of a philosophy major.-Now, while I'm a degreed person [with an above-average IQ] and have read some existentialist tomes as well as other philosophical texts, I am no philosophy or logic expert. I can follow your arguments and yet they seem little more than intellectual exercises.-So this forum may be of interest to 1% of the people, but if you can't explain your positions and present your arguments in terms that an average high school graduate will understand then I think something is missing. 
(c'mon, it can be done, think of Carl Sagan)-Clearly no harm, and perhaps much fun and stimulating conversation, but I prefer to address what I see as the very real danger of organized religion in today's world, and that means [IMHO] pointing out the ridiculous beliefs that children are brainwashed with.
