Wow, but the anti-preaching at the end was unnecessary and irritating.

Man, I love space. But apparently I cannot love space and God at the same time.

The Einstein quote was perfectly fine. But then the last sentence with the screamy all-caps "NOT" just came off as sad. I think spreading awareness of atheism is fine and dandy as sugar candy, but I think you have to do it like Carl Sagan-- with a gentle voice and elegant prose. Childishly asserting poorly-worded opinions makes you come off as... childish.
Sagan rules. Suck it, Einstein.

Gorgeous. Would have been cooler without the text at the end, just the images and their titles.

Sliggy, Severian, did we just watch the same video? The text at the end was nothing even approaching the 16 year old 3dg3master tone you seemed to be implying; it specifically addressed with a commonly held and fallacious perception of atheism, and that's all. Being hypersensitive every time someone says "atheist" makes you sound like a mincing queer.
Was the text necessary? Not really. Was it BRIGHT FLASHING LOL XTIANS? Not even a little.

A subculture defines itself as it wishes to. This was tastefully done.

I'm not seeing the preachiness/edge, either. Seems like all they were saying was exactly what was said, with no "so take that, god-botherers!" subtext to it. (But I guess if you weren't expecting it, it would be kind of annoying...)
Anyway, I'm suprised that this is the first video to use the 'astronomy' tag. Let's fix that.
