C'mon man ...
while I agree of almost all of what you said, this is where i disagree, respectfully ...
I just went through the links that LTT had posted ... a certain "Federation of rational society", quacks actually in my opinion, demanded ISRO chairmans resignation because of his puja .. !!
when did india stop being a free country ? when did believers stop having the right to perform a religious act ?
do you even realize how stupid all this sounds ?
As long as the chairman didnt spend taxpayer money to perform the puja, I think the atheist crowd should just STFU.
there is no edict or fatwa on doing a puja, whenever, in FREE India. The crowd ought to stop behaving as if there is.

Imagine a chief court judge/president taking our tricolor flag to a fringe group of a black magic cult and offering prayers.
Once the flag gets involved and the person is head of Indian office, entire situation moves from personal belief and prayers to breach of secular ethics/respect to flag.
In our case instead of flag we have prototype of a national asset payed by tax payers and he is head of scientific institution. Even if president buys a flag with his own
money still he can't abuse it by acting outside secular code of conduct and code of respect for the flag and present it under the feet of some baba/ghost.
Having said the above I want to bail out from this topic, I have no interest in any of these current events until I can bet on them .
But I felt like throwing a couple of pointers for the interested people to think and explore further on topic.
