You get two stars for using a Sagan quote, but the YTMND itself is long and pretty dull. Also, as a general critique that's certainly not directed solely at you - YTMND shouldn't be used as a blog or message board post. I miss when people on this site were just trying to make other people laugh instead of contributing to the vast chasm of pointless debate (overflowing with logical fallacies) that's so prevalent on the internet these days. And, yes, I'm an atheist myself.
1 for a pretty unentertaining YTMND regardless of the argument being presented and any potential merits said argument might have. Actually, rating the argument itself, it gets a 1 for being based wholly on an erroneous assumption (secular and athest aren't mutually inclusive) and confusing correlation and causation.
It should be pointed out that the point of PartyBen's mix wasn't to prove Green Day was ripping off Oasis...the author found two songs, cut and pasted certain sections, threw in some other stuff (Travis' "Writing to Reach You" and Eminem's "Sing")
