I understand that atheism doesn't inherently mean anything, but there are some things that if you polled all atheists, we would tend to relate on certain grounds. The importance of science, skepticism, and being socially liberal, for example, are not tenets of atheism by any means, but if you picked an atheist randomly from a group, he or she's (more than) likely to exhibit these traits or have these values.
Sure, but you'd get really bored repeatedly explaining correlation not implying causation.
Maybe a sticky thread with one post to that effect then frozen.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
