You got that one right. But atheism is merely a lack of belief in any gods. So it has no bearing on their behavior.
And before you claim that religion gives one an objective reason to value human life, prepare some support for it.
I think I'd rather leave it at you admitting that I was right.
Though it is hardly scientific or a large enough sample size, I should point out that the poll is currently at 60/40 opposed to hard atheism. This suggests hard atheists might be a larger percentage of atheists overall than the tiny minority some would claim. However, again, it is unscientific.
No, you are not right. You have not made your case.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
