Ha, I never thought of it like that. The reason I set my view to "somewhat atheist" is merely a sarcastic jumbling of words. If you imagine Christopher Hitchens being asked his stance on God after a brutally anti-theistic talk he may jokingly say "well you may not have noticed this, but I am at least somewhat atheistic". If you picture it that way you might get my gist. I consider myself to be an atheist in every sense of the word (the only sense of the word
), and it's almost in jest that I say "well clearly, I'm something of an athesit".
Y'know, I can't really explain why I set my view that way. I suppose I'll just change it now you've brought it up
