What you posted has nothing to with atheism.
In fact, 'atheism' is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a 'non-astrologer' or a 'non-alchemist'. We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.

@newjaninev2 I agree. The second word in his opening "definition" is "belief"...no need for all these knee-deep arcane, intellectual observations. We atheists simply don't believe in god. No need to justify.
