Atheism = No Spiritual Dimensions To Reality?

It's just about redressing the balance, Flint. If the status quo were not such that atheism is by its nature suspect to many people, and religion underpins much of society, 'hardcore atheists' would not feel the need to bang a drum.

It's less about the strength of belief than it is about the vehemence of that belief, in the face of a world that is primarily theistic in nature and hostile to atheism.

You're right. I agree.
