1. Drop the ‘I’m a weak-atheist’ strategy.
Not a strategy. It's called having a handle on the truth. There is no reason to say more. Nothing rides on it. It isn't important enough to deliberately misrepresent what I know and don't know.
Rather than atheists giving up speaking accurately. It would be better if theists would join us in this. Instead of raving about their certainty and belief, perhaps theists should return to their roots: humility and faith. Faith is much less cocky than belief.
