There's nothing of it. I just respect you for stating it. I'm not surprised it's you as you seem to be honest in your approach. I admit I'm a shit-stirrer, it makes me despair that humanity commonly over-reacts to the previous regime/paradigm, and that's how I see atheism it's just a reversal which becomes the same as what it's attempting to counter.
I personally have no issue with atheism, just how the vast atheists present their perspective, it's reactive to theism that sadly comes across with the same vigour.
I don't think materialism is necessary for atheism, although it usually is present. All I'm stating is many atheists assume too much to be a given and present a holier than thou attitude.
I have no idea how you deny materialism yet use Carl Sagan's quote. Perhaps it's a parody?
