For my part, it was an attempt to reassure queer religious people that there is no existential crisis between our sexualities and our belief in the supernatural. The Far Right would have us believe otherwise.
I sort of took it for granted that queer atheists, by definition, already reject beliefs in the supernatural...so they would just ignore such references and filter them out as not being relevant to their daily lives.
Perhaps you are right that I should have included a disclaimer or a qualifying statement asserting that gay men who happen to be atheistic and agnostic shouldn't be brow-beaten into accepting new beliefs. That might actually make an invigorating future piece for Prism & Pen (if you're open to me tackling it) -- "Can religious and irreligious queer folks coexist in harmony?" -- so I won't try to make myself look better by editing the existing body of my most recent editorial, here.
