"Positive" and "negative" atheists? Are they poles on a battery? Bipolar atheists, perhaps? (Like a transistor, not a psychiatric patient).
Also, there are more than "two" groups here than atheists and Christians. Though generally atheism lumps all theistic views into one category, "theism," I doubt your church would have me, nor would I be very likely to enter it (being afraid of marshmallow roasts in the name of religion).
There are deists, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and even the occasional pagan or Wiccan.

Why worry about blind beliefs. Why not be concerned with the human condition? I didn't just invent the distinction between positive and negative atheism. It was coined by an atheist.

You worry about groups and I'm concerned with finding open minded people capable of going beyond blind denial for the sake of reality.
