[Serious] Absolutes and Atheism

[Neo-Scholastic]

I would think Sartre, Camus, and Nietzsche quailfy as atheist oriented philosophy books? :-) Other that that I recented finished Thomas Nagel's book and he is an unapologetically atheist. Other than that a few of the main important papers by various academic and many lesser known articles. Look, I am well read but IMHO does not mean much. I am not niave or unreceptive to the notion that atheism is simple lack of belief in diety. At the same time, what if that lack is not simply one less fact in a world of facts? What if the lack is actually a gap between sensing and knowing that cannot be bridged? Can you have a capital-T Truth without somehow evoking or even reconstructing god. Who said that if Man did not believe in God he would have to invent Him?

C'mon guys! I am getting really disappointed. Can't a couple atheists debate this instead of this being another boring tribal us and them atheist versus theist thread. Surely there is someone willing to make put up some cognito ergo sum. So lame. If atheism is interesting and worthy of discussing then why all this "what do you mean by that" knida replies. Flesh it out. Or maybe you can't and hence do not try.
