I have provided you with two examples, Evie. Consider the most recent example I sumbitted: "metaphysical naturalism" (Msg. #130). That is an atheistic or godless view of reality qualified as being uniquely related to atheism (i.e., it is anathema to theists). And please note, "related to" does not mean "the same as," such that metaphysical naturalism is an atheistic view but is not itself atheism. It is a precise example of an atheistic view which an atheist can be fundy about (and so many are, including some members here).

Not "other things" generally and ambiguously, as I have said time and again.
