Why did you join here if you are so deeply religious?

I wanted to see if there were any negative atheists here since their opinions are valuable. I see there are only positive atheists who are as dogmatic in their denial as religious fundamentalists are in their belief.

Simone Weil has observed: "There are two atheisms of which one is a purification of the notion of God."
- William Robert Miller (ed.), The New Christianity (New York: Delacorte Press 1967) p 267; in Paul Schilling,
God in an age of atheism (Abingdon: Nashville 1969) p 17

I haven't encountered any of these atheists that Simone refers to posting here.
