So you're redefining cowardice to mean lacking reason, logic and science, and then just generally throwing on every theist..

Ok... got it ..

next..

I am specking very general, the word theist is too general for me to understand well enough yet. It's tricky because religion and atheist tend to want to separate groups and thing. Where my spiritual sided thinking is where everything is connected to the Universe. Can Atheism Be Spiritual or Compatible with Spiritual Beliefs? ... All of these and similar senses of "spirituality" are entirely compatible with atheism. I wonder why the two extremes want to separate and not find out better middle grounds

If a thing is unknown, how can you place a percentage on it?

I just round it off to 99% , Human do not even know what beneath the 6 km. surface of the earth is. What do we know about our own 99% mass we do not get to see. Now much can you imagine, how much we don't know about the Universe, much less than 1% that is for sure.
