street epistemology

[drfuzzy]

Bogo = Boghossian.

Village atheist is the atheist equivalent to a village idiot, as opposed to an atheist who is well-informed and educated, capable of nuance and distinction in their atheism.

And secular priests are those people, be they on youtube, or who write books, or what have you, that teach atheists the kind of beliefs and ideas (fallacious though they may be) that they learn.

Not everything you believe is based on concrete data. As someone who actually has to study epistemology, I can tell you that much. You, and everyone else, all possess various beliefs that are held on faith, or trust. Or that are believed without evidence. That's a discussion worth having in its own right with people who seem to be operating under this scientistic caricature of the real world (no doubt a mainstay of atheistic dogma) that is the subject of refutations time and time again.

So no, knowledge is NOT (all) provable data. Religion is certainly not unique in asking people to place trust. And this idea that the only kind of worthwhile knowledge is provable data.

As someone who actually has done my share of reading in epistemology, would you want to have a discussion about this?

Huh whut??? 
No, I have had enough of fairy tales and apologetics trying to "prove" those fantasies are real, thank you very much.  I'll place my trust in science and provable data.
