Edward: Reputation points should be a hint that: YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG! We have lots of theists around and they have green rep, it doesn't mean they don't express their opinions, it means they actually talk to people around. You, I am sorry to say, are not. And I am not going to point out where you fail, because alot of members have already pointed it out to you. You quote alot of people around but you don't actually adress their points, you create assumptions based solely on the bias of a bad definition on what atheism is, and you extend this error towards science. Do you prefer to get rep from people for beeing a good member, or prefer receiving rep just because its 'polite'? People here at least are honest, and rep points (negative or not) come with a motive that you can check on your profile. Furthermore, rep votes can be changed to positive if one can turn out to change ways and have a serious coversation. Take the hint, although to be honest I really doubt that you will ever do so.
All could be avoided, if on your 2nd or 3rd post you had simply asked "What is atheism?".
