Some people seem to have the fantasy that to be an atheist today is a sort of purist view without a viewpoint, and that therefore their lack of belief rests on no assumptions and requires no justifications. It would be hard to sustain this fantasy after reading Gray's book.
I've never been any kind of religious. When I was younger I said "I'm not religious enough to call myself an atheist." People might as well ask me what kind of unicorn I am.
