Oh, so it's a No True Scotsman. They're all atheists, but accomplished nothing "For Athilos, God of Atheism," therefore their contributions are meaningless.
Oh, so you're distorting my reply. Where did I say their accomplishments were meaningless? That's not what I said. I said they accomplished things for science and technology, and that atheism wasn't the inspiration for their acheivements.
