Careful now, you might be thrown out of the non throwing out, non-organization of Atheism. Careful, careful.
I'm not really worried. I'd be surprised if I found one atheist who seriously disagreed with my statement.
Ace, if you do some searching, you will find numerous threads in which people make precisely that same point: atheism =/= science.
Though many atheists are metaphysical naturalists and would assert a close relationship between atheism and science, not all are. I would go so far as to say that a majority of atheists are likely agnostic on the question of metaphysical naturalism, while at the same time embracing methodological naturalism. Hell, one could be an atheist and a full-blown New Age, astrology-believing loon. There is no real content to the concept of 'atheist' other than 'doesn't believe in gods'.
