Hmm, interesting linguistic issue. Doesn't one directly imply the other, if not being an explicit agreement exactly?

I don't like any pizza.
I like no pizza.

They are differently phrased, but aren't they nevertheless identical expressions?

Ahh, good point, Ryan. So I guess I assume that an atheist rejects all irrational beliefs, but that may not be the case. So I guess, what is its specific definition? Rejection of a belief in the supernatural? So that doesn't preclude Lochness, etc?
