No reasoning is devoid of reality. We couldn't understand anything without some frame of reference.
So what about questions of deity? Something we define with no way of establishing a hard link to physical reality. This requires pure reason. Science cannot be applied because it is out of the scientific realm. Rationalism applies.
Said atheists refuse to entertain rationalism to the exclusion of empiricism, and so deny one of the methods of discovery.
If there is a deity. Why would we define it with no link to reality. That is just silly to me. The only reason i see doing something like that is to bulster a personal opinion. "an all personal bullshit god" so to speak.
