In my 13 years of debate I constantly come to the same conclusion. Topic outside of science is a matter of opinion. While you have to allow for that, you cannot allow any opinion to get a free pass. You can only allow the claim to be made.
My only "worldview" has nothing to do with the label "atheist". It has to do with my observation that nothing is simplistic, nothing is monochromatic, nothing can be stated in simplistic labels, even with those who share the same labels. Humans compete, on every level. We compete for resources. We compete on issues on politics, religion and business. That is unavoidable. Even within our own labels we do not always agree. We can as a species allow for those differences, but we cannot in the process chose our own facts. We can only agree to accept that we will never, even within the same label, agree. What we can do is shift our priority away from our tribalism which wont go away, and shift it to our common ground.
