How are you not getting this? Are you just being willful or what?
I understand what you're saying. As an atheist, I do stand for certain values, namely, rational and scientific inquiry of the World, Universe and Cosmos. For me, such a stance leads to atheism, whether negative or positive atheism. Even liberal religionists do not value the scientific method fully, as being the foundation for all of human inquiry. Even artistic insights and aesthetics can be examined in a fMRI machine, not to mention statistical studies.
