Science and reason, both? That would be equivalent to saying you'd be an atheist even if you knew it was irrational to be one.


Let's cut to the chase. I'll stipulate that you will find few takers who would be atheists if they didn't think it was rational. What's your point, kemosabe?


I sense a strong contingent of atheists who, even if they do self-consciously embrace atheism for reasons that aren't rational, aren't likely to share that information with you just because you ask for it.
