We're not a monolithic group here. I find it incomprehensible that any atheist could be in Category 7 (absolutely certain that there is no God), which caused the late Professor Carl Sagan to state, "By some definitions atheism is very stupid."

I was surprised by the poll of AF members in which 13.8% of the members considered themselves theists. I just do not see their activity. That said, I full well know that atheists, as a category, run the gambit. Yet, that is not my experience of the more active atheist members who IMHO do share a common set of assumptions. The first category reject theism for ontological reasons, i.e. taking the anti-realist position with respect to intellectual objects. The second category of atheist rejects theism for epistemilogical reasons, i.e. asserting foundationalism as the only valid approach for warranting belief.
