I have no quarrels with that. I was talking about specifically condemning the universal theistic stance of believing in God. I think if Atheists were to be consistent in that, and logical, they would see it makes no sense to do that. It's better to admit there maybe merit to faith in God, but that you are skeptical as opposed to out right reject it.
The main problem is, in general, theists hold beliefs that in some way require the infliction of those beliefs upon others.
If someone wants to follow a dissonant tone into madness, that's their choice, just don't get upset if others call your beliefs into question.
