It seems like a thin line when, through all the rhetoric, the answer to my question was that an Atheist is right, and knows the truth, while a believer (of any stripe) chooses against overwhelming evidence to hold fast to illusion and dementia.

I, for the record, could never be as self-righteous as that.
