Ignorant Atheists?

Which example is that?

It is in my opinion, and some others, that a good person who tolerates extreme evil violence and cruelty. May be a good person at heart. But not in practice.

Well we are in disagreement right there. That person is a good person at heart, period. He or she is not the police, the military, or any other form of law enforcement so you cannot blame him/her for not acting against cruelty and violence.

Evil is the enemy of good.

What is your definition of good and evil?

You can't allow evil to go about poisoning everything. As Leonardo said: "He who does not punish evil commands it to be done."

I'm sure he did, does that make it a valid point?

At heart a good person could be good. But if he tolerated extreme evil then at least in practice he isn't.

I disagree wholeheartedly.

So since faith and superstition is the enemy and perhaps even the reverse of the scientific method - and scientific thinking. For the same reason as the above paragraph, perhaps you could say that someone who is a scientist but tolerates faith and superstition can be a scientist at heart but he isn't in practice?

And for the very same reason I stated, is disagree there as well. Sure the scientist will have to compartmentalize, but to say it is a bad scientist because he has a very human character flaw called faith he is no less qualified to do his job.
