The trouble with that point, is that it doesn't. No debate is required, and none can salvage that point. If you -need- that to be true...to have anything further to say....then you probably don't have much to say. When someone says "I'm an atheist" - it means that they don't believe in gods, it doesn't mean that they assume that our current knowledge or current methods are capable of full knowledge, or some deep and as yet undiscovered truth about the fabric of the cosmos, it doesn't mean that they prefer chocolate to vanilla...or cotton over lace. You get that, right?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
