This is an interesting point. What's worth bearing in mind when the arguments start between the faithful and the faithless, is that many (most?) atheists start out as 'believers' because unless they come from an ardently atheistic household, they are surrounded by religion, even if of a secular nature. It's near impossible for Ruminator to understand my perspective because he's never been a non-believer (I am assuming). I suspect I find it easier to relate to his perspective because I was a believer before I became an atheist.
