They are in fact a very vocal and significant contingent, and, if the poll is any indication, quite possibly a majority. Thank you, your participation has been most helpful.
Never took statistics, did you? Is there anything at all different about atheists on an atheist discussion board that might skew their responses in a particular direction from the general population of atheists? Were all the people who responded even atheists? Was the question worded in a way that could affect the results?
Since you previously admitted your poll is unscientific, you've no excuse for claiming it proves something.

A significant number of what? People who are 'hard atheists' or people who don't think 'hard atheism' is irrational? Do you think there is 100% overlap in those two groups? Not everyone who disagrees with me is being irrational. It's not a given that if you reach a different conclusion from mine, that it is an irrational conclusion.

The OP did clearly defined the term as gnostic atheism, and then pretty much continually used it as a synonym for anti-theism in practice.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
