How do you differentiate between a rational atheist and an irrational one? Should there even be a differentiation, or are they all irrational as far as you are concerned?Who ever said all atheists are rational? Were humans being and humans are irrational creatures. So atheism as a position is more rational because the theists haven't met their burden of proof, but doesn't mean the atheist is necessarily rational or irrational.
If you believe in burden of proof, you need to meet your own burden of proof for your claims before applying it to others.
The two claims that need to meet the burden the most are:
-Theists haven't met their burden of proof.
-A theism as a position is more rational because the theists haven't met their burden of proof.
I'll save you the time and point out that I don't think you can meet the burden of proof for these claims.
