The attempts of the atheists are only grotesque

The obvious problem with that is, philosophers can be wrong, too.

Pay attention to the quote I'm going to provide here. It may come from a religious figure, but it's a quote that still makes sense (it's part of why atheists seem to be less hostile towards Buddhism than they are most religions). In fact, I like the quote so much I put a variation of it in my signature.

"Believe nothing,
No matter where you read it,
Or who has said it,
Not even if I have said it,
Unless it agrees with your own reason
And your own common sense."

~ Siddhartha Gautama (aka the Buddha)

Is that from the Kalama Sutta? If so, no offense, but that's one of the stupidest sutta in all of the Buddhist canon.
