It is the scale by which Richard Dawkings measures atheism.
Category 1: Strong theist “I know God exists 100%”
Category 2: God exists but probability shorter than 100%
Category 3: Probability higher than 50% but not very high.
Category 4: Probability exactly 50%. Completely impartial agnostic.
Category 5: Probability lower that 50% but not very low.
Category 6: Probability very low, but short of zero.
Category 7: Strong atheist “I know there is no God”
I never believed in God but I was fascinated by the ancient stories about gods and I spent thirty years reading myths, legends and archaic texts in order to decide whether they were the product of the imagination of men or not.
Well, they were not. They were real people who behaved inhumanly.
When eventually the other people made them go away, some very very naughty boy made a joke saying that they had climbed a ladder to the sky.
The gods turned into God but the joke is renewed from time to time because the God keeps climbing the ladder and at the moment has just reached the border of our universe.
The lower the category speaking the more I laugh! Where do you place yourself?
