Anyway rob, you need to consider dedicating a section of your blog to explain why lack of belief isn't a belief in itself. This point comes up almost every time there's a debate on atheism.
Well, sure - if you debate a crazy person, they'll insist, that sanity is another mental illness. A junkie will say that being "clean" is just another drug. And a racist will claim, that not being racist - is just another prejudice. Whatever helps them sleep at night, I suppose.
