What's wrong with the tone? I've read (and written a few) other blog posts of his that have similar tones as this one, and they don't seem insulting or rude in nature, just written from a satirical perspective (even if the content isn't exactly satire).

These two religions are fairly symbiotic to each other too, are they not? Submit to a higher authority Monday through Friday, so that when Sunday comes along, it's just one more... |
That's exactly what I was thinking
They are both "beasts with a similar functioning system" from my point of view. They both give you an alternative to what most people believe is mandatory and required of you. You decide your own future, not what society or religion dictates it to be.
